Dear Manning, I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you for fixing up the trial of the Daimler and Cadillac for me. Both these models were very interesting. As you know, we are considering buying a Maybach and from the trial run I had in Paris I think that perhaps this is the most interesting of the cars in our class. We are very pleased to hear that your car 26-EX. is going so well and hope you will reap the benefit of what I consider is a very fine effort. Hoping to see you at Olympia, kind regards. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
