| W.Hca Experimental Dept. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KT. December 11th 1933. J.S. Inskip Esq., Rolls-Royce Building, 32-34 East 57th Street, New York City, U.S.A. Dear Inskip, I am sailing on the "Brittanic" which leaves Liverpool on Dec. 30th. I am bringing a Bentley car over with me. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has told me that he had considerable difficulty in getting a driving licence in New York and was made to wait a week for this. I wonder whether you could do anything for me to avoid a similar difficulty when I arrive. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
