261 s.s. S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales}/2/SM. 23.8.39. Re: Briggs S. Cunningham. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} We have now heard from the above from Cortachy Castle, Kirriemuir, saying that he is not interested in our proposition concerning a new Bentley as he wanted a car by the 1st October and perhaps by some future date we may have a used car of a new type. It would therefore appear that he is going ahead with some other make of car and the only thing we can now do is to bear him in mind for anything new in the future. Thanks for your endeavours in this matter. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
