A.{Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq., Rolls Royce Limited, D E R B Y . Dear Mr. Robotham, Thank you for your letter of the 12th instant. My son returned with the Bentley on Sunday afternoon and as I have not heard from him as yet, I presume you had the car on Monday morning as arranged. I note what you say with regard to general attention to the car and if you will kindly let me have a statement of what has been done, it will be a guide to me in arranging any further work at Kingsbury, if the need arises. Providing the roads are not freezing and the snow is not too think, I propose to collect the car this coming week-end. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, Geoffrey Smith DIRECTOR. | ||
