Head Offices, Works and Design Dept.: DALLOW ROAD, LUTON. 24th. October, 1935. W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I am very sorry that you were not able to turn up at your Stand at Olympia yesterday, and presumably now it will not be possible for me to see you there. I shall be glad therefore to hear whether and when it would be convenient for me to come up to Derby and see you at the Works. I think, as stated in my previous letter, it is rather desirable to get a few matters outstanding settled, and I do certainly think that a visit to discuss these matters is very much better than writing letters. I shall hope therefore to hear from you as to when I may come up and see you. Yours sincerely, Matravers | ||
