For the attention of Mr.G.H.Whyman. Dear Sirs, Burgess Silencers. Many thanks for your letter of the 9th instant. Monday afternoon next will be quite convenient to us. We expect you know Hinckley but in case it will be of any help to you we suggest you take the following route. As to Barwell as far as Stapleton then instead of turning left, keep straight on which will bring you into Hinckley. Carry straight on through the Town to Round-about. Straight on for 100 yards and turn right along Works road immediately after passing under Railway Bridge. Works on the right. Yours faithfully, BURGESS PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED. Director. cc.GD. | ||
