18th August 1992
John and Adrian Swire (and I) spare the time to come and have
would be so delighted if you could lunch with us here sometime.
John of course you know anyway from Univ, but you probably do not know too much about the family firm and we would like to tell you a little bit about it. I am enclosing a card which gives some very brief annotated information on our activities, described mostly I have to say in physical rather than in financial terms.
Finding a date when the two brothers and I are available is difficult enough, and I am sure that your diary is even more full. Because of various travels in the Orient that are going on in October and early November, we have had to go on to late November/early December, and so I put to you three dates in the hope that by some good chance you would be able to manage one of them
Wednesday 25th and Thursday
-
26th November or Wednesday 2nd December?
As you
see from the address, we are not far from your offices. We lunch sharp at 1.00 and I can guarantee that you can be away at the latest at 2.15, or earlier if you should so wish.
Your
James
Sir James Spooner
