| Copy for Claud Johnson Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd. 14 & 15, Conduit Street, W. AP. File Let me see our letter to them. 11th Jan. 1912. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd. D E R B Y. TBE6/L9112. Dear Sirs, We have to thank you for your letter of the 9th inst. addressed to Mr. Napier. We are not responsible for the arrangement to which you refer on our large finished car which was exhibited at the recent Olympia Show. The chassis was supplied by us in the usual form and we presume the ventilating device has been supplied as part of the body. We are not quite certain, but we believe the body work to have been made by Messrs. Mulliner of Northampton. Perhaps you would communicate with them upon the matter. We should like to express our appreciation of your attitude in writing to us as you have done. Yours faithfully, For D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} NAPIER & SON, LIMITED. | ||
