| Oy Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}16/KW. 7th November, 1934. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley Esq., The Cadillac Motor Car Co., Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Dear Oy., I hope you had a good trip home. We are still most anxious to get hold of a right-hand Cadillac steering at the earliest possible moment and should be very much indebted to you if you could get them to send one along. If they will send the invoice to me personally I will see that it is settled with the minimum of delay. Attached is a report which we have just had from Hancock in France where he has taken the Cadillac over Pave roads, which do the most horrible things to our present 40/50. Bouquets from Hancock as you probably know are few and far between! Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
