YOUR REFERENCE Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG

Dear Sir:

Many thanks for your letter of February 21st.

I quite appreciate your remarks regarding Mr.Hubbersty's lack of previous experience in automobile engineering, and am letting him know what you say. It is quite possible however that he would still like to avail himself of your kind of-fer of an interview, in which case I will ask him to write to you direct.

I regret that at the moment we have no men possessing the qualifications you require. I hope, however, that if any future vacancies occur you will again give us the opportunity of suggesting candidates.

Faithfully yours,
H.A. Roberts
