| Secret and Confidential To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E5.2.31. - 4 - I hope you will realise that no one regrets more than I do that the Bentley people appear to have been successful in achieving such wonderful results, but it is no use ignoring the fact, and it does tend to show the importance of our people, wherever possible, trying other peoples cars so as to keep in touch with what other manufacturers are doing. Yours sincerely. (Sgd) A.F.Sidgreaves | ||
