| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/ML. 20.3.40. R.Summers,Esq., Shotton, Chester. Dear Dick, Thank you for your letter of the 18th. March together with information regarding your Bedford trucks. Your cost analysis of the running of your transport is exceedingly interesting. With regard to the new car, you need not make up your mind for about the next 3 weeks. I have discussed the matter with the administration and I believe I can get them to allot a car to you if you want it, but as I pointed out, you cannot expect an abnormal allowance on your present car, though I dare say Messrs Bentley Motors would be quite willing to help you sell it. I must say that if I were you I should most certainly change. Yours sincerely, | ||
