Dear Mr. Robotham, I am indeed obliged to you for your letters of the 20th and 22nd December, and regret my inability to thank you for them before, which has been due to my having been away until this week. The drawings you have kindly sent are, I believe, exactly what will be required at the other end, and these are being posted as soon as possible, together with the additional information contained in your letter of the 22nd December. Again please accept my best thanks, and every good wish for 1934. Yours sincerely, P G Matravers | ||
