KING GEORGE V.{VIENNA} 46-50 PARK LANE LONDON W 1 The Car Mart Ltd RS{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary}/MD. AUGUST Thirtieth 1930. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce.Ltd. DERBY. Dear Mr.Robotham, I am writing to thank you for your letter of the 29th inst, and am ever so sorry that you had the bad luck with the Studebaker. I have not yet heard what they found wrong. I am very interested to hear of Mr. Royce's impression of the Graham Page, and am glad also that you consider taking it down to him was an advantage. It was very nice of you to mention the subject of the costs etc., of the cars you have used on occasions, and I am therefore enclosing the account in respect of the petrol put in the Graham Page before you left. I most certainly do not propose debiting you with any other items for petrol used on previous occasions, and I trust this will be satisfactory to you. Please let me know any time I can be of assistance to you in the future, or if there is any other car you would like to try. Yours very truly, For THE CAR MART, LTD. (Signature) G.Bowman, Managing Director. | ||
