Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham,
Experimental Dept.
Messrs Rolls-Royce, Ltd.

Dear Sir,
With reference to your letter of 1st Feby, I regret very much that I cannot accept the appointment for I regard the initial salary offered as being too low to enable me to recoup within a reasonable period the outlay incident to taking up residence in England. Nevertheless, the permanent salary offered seems fairly reasonable.
I thank you sincerely for your kindness, and regret giving you unnecessary trouble.
With many apologies,
I remain,
Your obedient servant,
P. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Corr.
