| Private. S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4214 C19/C19.11.23. Re The Hispano Suiza Car. ----- The following is extract from letter from Barker & Co.Ltd:- "I should like to point out that your representative Mr. Robotham came from Derby for the car but could not produce written authority to us to hand same over. Under the circumstances, we had to apply to you at Conduit Street and we received the permission from Mr.Barnes to hand the car over. We are rather surprised that Derby should have sent someone without written authority. I am telling you this to explain the delay caused by your representative not leaving here until 2 o'clock."
