Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, Derby. LID{A. J. Lidsey} Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Lidsey. We acknowledge your telegram reading:- "Please send painter Tuesday morning. 66 feet light green rubber required for running boards". Arrangements have been made to send the painter as required, but as regards the strip rubber, unfortunately, we only have 20 yards immediately available. The manufacturers inform us that they require two days to produce the balance, but we believe we may be able to arrange for them to improve upon this period. Please rest assured that not a moment will be lost as we will ask the makers to send it direct to you to save time. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. [Signature] M.A. Thompson | ||
