Rolls-Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. For the attention of Mr. Hives. Dear Sir, Experimental Car We arranged by 'phone this afternoon to come across to Derby, tomorrow Tuesday, in order to see the tyres fitted to this car. As, however, the Development Supt. has written to you, asking you to send the car to Aston Cross on Wednesday, we think it will be superfluous to come to Derby. Will you, therefore, be good enough to cancel the arrangement regarding our visit to Derby? Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. [Illegible Signature] | ||
