Robotham Esq. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. Dear Robotham, Thank you for your letter of the 19th instant, regarding the sale of my B.11 4 1/4-litre Bentley. I am quite agreeable to the proposal you have made, and I hope Mr. Thompson is getting as much pleasure out of the car as I had. Things are moving in connection with the matters we discussed last Wednesday, but with the first samples apparently there will be a certain amount of trial and error work in connection with your end before some of the details are finally settled, which would seem to be inevitable in the case of the first sample; but I am confident that as far as we are concerned you will not be waiting to get on the road with the car for any parts at all. I will keep closely in touch with you, and am looking forward to another visit in the near future. Yours sincerely, C.L. Breeden e.s. | ||
