| W/S. C.from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.9.6.37. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and myself are proposing to visit Dagenham on Friday, June 8th. Could you arrange for a driver and car to pick us up at Brown's Hotel, Albemarle Street, at 8.30.a.m. on Friday morning next, the 11th instant and run us down to Dagenham, bringing us back in the evening in time to catch the 6.25 train to Derby? We find this is about the only way to manage a visit to Dagenham. We always get hopelessly lost when we try to drive ourselves. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
