We were distressed to read in The Times this morning that your chairman had died and I am writing at once to express our deep sympathy.
I had the privilege of knowing Sir James for many years and always regarded him as a personal friend. By his untimely passing our industry has lost one of its ablest leaders. We at Johnsons recall his many kindnesses and it was always a pleasure to do business with him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and had dealings with him.
Please convey our sympathy to Lady Langley and her family.
