Your Ref. ENGINES F/ET/82. Our Ref. 1st February, 1940. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. DERBY. [Handwritten: F/A] Dear Robotham, I should be grateful if you would be good enough to pass the enclosed letter regarding my Bentley car along to the right quarter to be dealt with. The car ran very well indeed when it was returned, but it has since developed a persistent tap which I think comes from a piston. Yours sincerely, [Signature] ENCLO: | ||
