Your Ref: Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/ML. Dear Robotham, Many thanks for your kind letter of apology with regard to the misfire on Tuesday's visit. I was very disappointed not to have had more time with you as although I had nothing particular to talk about we usually find subjects of common interest and I had rather looked forward to our chat as a slight relief from immediate war problems but apparently it was not to be. Better luck next time. With kindest regards, Yours sincerely, Oliver Lucas [Handwritten note top left corner: R-R LUCAS FILL PROG & DEV. MK 6653] | ||
