| Oy1-F23.9.19. Rolls-Royce Limited., 15 Broad Street, New York, Sept. 23rd. 1919. BJ from Oy:- c. CJ. RE ADDRESSING OF LETTERS AND BLUEPRINTS. 1. On the 22nd. Sept. we sent you a cable reading "Address all letters and prints on auto job to twenty seven William Street". 2. We have just had an invoice of blueprints, dated 28th. August 1919 consigned to Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 220, Union Buildings, Cleveland, Ohio, this in spite of the fact that we have written several letters both to London and Derby, requesting that all mail for me be sent to 27, William St.{Capt. P. R. Strong}, New York. In any case "Union Bank Buildings" is the wrong address for Cleveland. 3. We would therefore be glad if you would instruct all the departments concerned both at London and Derby that our address at present on the automobile job is:- Rolls-Royce Ltd., 27 William Street, N.Y. City. As soon as a new location is decided upon, and a factory started this address will be changed, and we shall notify you of the change. We will be glad if in this case also you will see that all the necessary departments at Derby are properly notified of the change. In the present instance it is most undesirable to have prints sent to Cleveland and returned to New York, since certain of them are urgently required, and the delay involved is at least 4 or 5 days.
