SIR G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} STANLEY WHITE, BT{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} (MANAGING DIRECTOR.) FILTON HOUSE, BRISTOL, ENG. Your Ref. Our Ref. ENGINES F/ET/RTR/250. 25th October, 1939. W.A.Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. Derby. Dear Robotham, I am going to be at Derby tomorrow to have a meeting with Mr. Hives, and as explained to him, I am anxious to get my Bentley thoroughly overhauled. Generally, I am very pleased with it, but I want to get it into good condition for two years' hard use before you close down on car work. I enclose herewith a list of the jobs that I should like to have done, and I hope you will be able to have it completed for me within about ten days or a fortnight. I shall arrive at the Works and will leave my car outside the offices when I ask for Mr. Hives, and would be grateful if you could have it fetched. If there are any doubtful points on my list, perhaps you would be good enough to speak to me before I leave. Yours sincerely, Dictated but not signed by Mr. FEDDEN A.{Mr Adams} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} R.{Sir Henry Royce} Fedden. Encl. | ||
