Sep. 25th 1930 W.Rowbotham Esq., Rolls-Royce, Ltd. Derby. Dear Mr. Rowbotham, You will no doubt recollect that some time ago we were discussing the 16-Cylinder CADILLAC. I do not remember whether you said you had tried one or would like to. If the latter, the London agents have now a Demonstration Car and have written offering me a run, and I shall be only too pleased to have it with you. Anyway, I hope to see you in Paris next week. Yours very truly, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Manning | ||
