A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 23rd inst., I quite agree that the only way to tackle our present difficulties appears to be for me to come and discuss matters on the spot. Accordingly if convenient to yourself, I would like to call on you after lunch on Monday next the 30th inst., I agree that the difficulties appear at the present time almost insurmountable, but I believe it would be possible to work out a satisfactory solution on the lines suggested by yourself.
