PLEASE REPLY TO COVENTRY MT/WAC. 21st January, 1939. W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham Esq, Rolls Royce Ltd, D E R B Y. Dear Mr.Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of Jan.19th sending me copies of the photographs already handed to Crosby. They are, to my mind, an extremely useful set. I have turned up the Skid Pan article successfully. I was unable to find it before because I understood you to say it was published in November 1938, hence we were a year wrong in our searchings ! As regards paying you a visit in order that we may go through all that is to be printed, so far I have not been able to get any promised date of delivery out of Crosby, so I think if you don't mind we had better leave it until wednesday. Yours sincerely, Montague Tombs P.S. By-the-way, we must offer you an apology for spelling your name wrongly. We hope to do better in future ! | ||
