| X8992. Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence). 2/4/30. My dear. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} I have attempted to write to you. earlier. but was not well enough. to finish it (I feel so tired) I had not heard how you are getting on until yesterday. E's letter. Our car has been doing well, but is now away at Nice with having screen glass changed, the. original. was crack & become much more so, I have not been in the car for 3 months. as I am quickly tired. Dodd, fear templates for. Triplex not good enough We do not know if any cars are coming. out. while I am here. & if you or anyone is. coming with them, but after a two month rest & very dull. unusually so. (but not cold) we are having some beautiful. weather & I am getting out. of doors, but cannot walk far. especially uphill. I have some impression that Milani's gear on the Armstrong.S. is not practical. enough for long. years of life even in England & hardly suitable for abroad, imagine it has. much the same character as. Lanchester. gear of this type. | ||
