Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. England. For the attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sirs, Further to our message to-day through your London Manager, we confirm that we have been requested by the Graham Paige Antwerp Office to recover the Supercharger despatched to you yesterday. Apparently they wish to send you direct one of a slightly earlier type having less value as a replacement and which will be billed for Customs purposes at cost. We have asked them to telegraph you particulars of despatch to enable you to clear through Customs with a minimum of delay. Much regretting any inconvenience caused you by this misunderstanding, We are, Yours faithfully, p.p. CLEVERLYS LIMITED. Director. | ||
