| 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.1/ML. 11.7.40. C.W.Ward,Esq., Messrs Park Ward & Co.Ltd., 473, High Road. Willesden. N.W.10. Dear Mr. Ward, We are wanting half a hide or thereabouts to do a job on 9.B. The colour is blue-grey as per the attached small cutting. I thought that you might possibly have some of this hide in stock. Failing this, perhaps you have a cutting that would be large enough for us to send as a sample to Connolly's. If you have sufficient hide of this shade in stock, will you please let us have it. Yours sincerely, | ||
