| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/ML. 5.4.40. R.Summers,Esq., Shotton, Chester. Dear Dick, The only difference in length between your present car and the new will be due to bumper bars, if you do not have them fitted on your existing automobile. Presumably, if the garage question is a problem you can take the bumper bars off your new car or arrange to have it delivered without them. You could probably have the car finished to choice. I suggest that the value of your present car is about £400. I am coming over to see the new mill in a fortnight's time. You will have to let me know something definite about the new car before then. Yours sincerely, | ||
