Dear Rowbotham, I hope you have returned safely from America, and had a satisfactory visit there. My brother-in-law, Captain T.L.Dugdale, M.P., is sending his Bentley up to Derby on May 19th for its last "service" under the guarantee. If you have a moment to spare I should be most grateful if you could keep an eye on it. Many apologies for continually worrying you on these matters - I hope I am not being a damn nuisance! Do not forget to let us know whether you and your wife will come to lunch when you come down to London for the Flower Show. Yours sincerely, Rothes. | ||
