| X59092 Restaurant Octobon Le. Canadel Par-Le-Lavandou. (Var) France. Feb. 23rd WOTR Mr. Hives from Dodd. 26-4-32 Our return this year seems to be very complicated. During the early part of last week R caught a chill in the legs and the doctor say's, "Sciatica". I am pleased to say he has improved and continues to do so. This will of course delay our return, but for how long, I do not know. We received a telegram from Hancock at Paris today 10.30 AM, saying, he had arrived in France. He was expected of course here this week-end, but I suppose he will have to carry on with his testing now until R is ready to return. Everything is going well with our car. Yours faithfully F. {Mr Friese} Dodd. | ||
