Dear Rootes, I very much enjoyed my day spent at the Humber Factory, and am much indebted to you for arranging this for me. I do hope you will come and see us at Derby some time, and that in the future we may be able to discuss some of our common problems to our mutual advantage. I was very glad to hear that your brother was benefitting from his holiday. Yours sincerely, | ||
