MTHS{Reg Matthews} Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your two letters of the 5th and 18th inst., and must apologise for the delay in our reply to you. This has been due to extreme pressure of work in connection with the recent Motor Show, and is also due to the fact that we have been extremely short of connecting rod stampings. A new batch was recently received, and we hope in the course of a day or two to be able to give you a definite promise for delivery. When doing this we will write you more fully upon the whole proposition. Yours faithfully, DENNIS BROTHERS LIMITED. [Signature] CUSTOMERS' VEHICLES DRIVEN AT OWNER'S RISK ONLY. | ||
