A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Robotham, It was extremely nice of you to reply in your letter dated the 9th on the subject of my recent suggestion in regard to synchro-mesh gearboxes. I would very much have liked to have taken the opportunity of coming over to Derby tomorrow, but unfortunately this happens to coincide with an important meeting, and as I am short-staffed I am afraid I cannot allocate anybody else in my place. I will, however, drop you a line in the course of a day or so and will request you to give consideration to an alternative date. Kind regards and many thanks, Yours sincerely, V.W.
