Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited,
D E R B Y.
Dear Sirs,
We acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 1st instant, which apparently crossed ours of the same date, referring to Tin Gaiters you require us to fit to a pair of Leaf Springs.
We would inform you that these Springs have now been located in one of our distant Stores, and the writer will personally see that the Tin Gaiters are put in hand immediately. We will write you in the course of a few days and let you know when you may expect these.
We are sorry for the delay in locating these Springs, but assure you that no time will be lost in getting these away to you.
Yours faithfully,
p.p. RUBERY, OWEN & CO. LTD.
