| EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Strikethrough] LS -> Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830. Ex/Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 3/EDI/1-3-30. 20 H.P. EXPERIMENTAL PULLMAN LIMOUSINE. I have received a copy of Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/MJ28-2-30. In view of what Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} says about the suggested colour, I think we had better choose something else. None of us really liked Bergers' Mastic, and I suggest that when you are next here, we endeavour to find a colour which is likely to be more popular. Will Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} be good enough to return to me the pattern of paint which accompanied EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 's Memo. to him? Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} [Signature] [Stamped text bottom right: RECEIVED] [Handwritten text bottom right: 1830, HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ] | ||
