Dear Manning, Many thanks for your letter. Delighted to see your speed merchant friends when they come up to the Works. Will you ask them to avoid January 18th to 21st inclusive, as I shall most probably be away on those days. There is no difficulty about their seeing round the Works, and we shall be delighted to give them lunch. Will you let us know, or ask them to send us a line, as to what time and on what day they will arrive ? Hoping our supply of Bentleys is sufficient for you this year. Yours sincerely, | ||
