X677 Dear Mr. Cartmell, Mr. Royce has a 20 HP. car at Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence). The Laissez-Passer was taken out for this car when it went across and it expires on the 14th. Feb. Would it be possible for you to wangle a 3-months licence for this car without the fag of the car having to go from Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence) to Nice? If you could possibly do anything, I am sure it would be appreciated by Mr. Royce. Will you please reply direct to (and send us a copy) - F. {Mr Friese} Dodd, Restaurant Octobon, Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence), Par Le Lavandou, (Var) France. This fellow is in charge of the car at Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence). I am looking forward to having a run down to the south of France before long and hope, if I do so, to get over to Nice. Yours sincerely, | ||
