Dear Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer},

You certainly made my ears burn on Saturday evening by the kind remarks you made and which I doubt whether I deserve, but I would like to congratulate you on one of the best speeches I have heard for a long time. I enjoyed the dinner very much indeed and am very grateful to you all for asking me.

I hope to see you next week at the Paris Show, and perhaps we can have some dinner together.

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,
F.R. Banks
