I have received the following telegram from Mr. Royce, in reply to C.J's letter to him of 22nd March, which read as follows:- "When this has been done, I suggest that Hives and Rowledge should pay you a flying visit at Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence), so that you may be informed how matters are going on and will not feel so out of touch as you may feel at the present time and may, therefore, be prepared to remain afterwards quietly for some time in the South." You will doubtless wire Mr. Royce what day you will arrive, etc. B.J. COPY OF TELEGRAM. Le Lavandou: 311: 31: 27: 14H35. Rolhead(Rolls-Royce telegram address) Reg. Londres angleterre.
