Brocklehurst-Whiston Amalgamated Ltd., 47, Gresham Street, E.C.2. Dear Lord Rothes, Many thanks for your letter of May 10th. I will contact with the Service Depot regarding Capt. T.L. Dugdale's Bentley. With reference to Mr. H.C. Drayton's chassis, and your letter to Grylls, I find that owing to the strike this will not be on test until about the 13th June, and there will then be a further three weeks before delivery. My wife and I expect to be in London for the Chelsea Flower Show on Tuesday, May 25th, and will look you up, if convenient. Yours sincerely, | ||
