Dear Mr. Robotham, I thank you for your letter of the 11th instant advising me that you could visit our Works on Friday 15th instant. This date will be quite satisfactory and I am arranging our programme accordingly. If you are coming by road, the enclosed sketch will give you the directions of the route enabling you to find where we are situated; if you intend to come by train, it would perhaps be better for you to travel to Manchester (Central Station), when upon receiving the time of your arrival, I could arrange to pick you up. If you do come by train, the car that will come to meet you is a grey Vauxhall 12, registration number EN.7795. Yours sincerely, F.{Mr Friese} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Aspin ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY | ||
