November 1938. 1227 Dear Mr. Todd, Your Mr. J.M.White has been in correspondence with our people concerning data sheets which we have been asked to fill in regarding 1939 Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars. We returned these sheets with various of the questions unanswered because they asked for information we do not usually give away. Mr. White has again written asking for this further information. Our people are loath to give away more than is in the Instruction Book. I am therefore writing to you privately to ask what good you get out of the information, and what good we get out of letting you have it. Yours sincerely, | ||
