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 FRB/WNT | ||
