| AJL X7940 PN.{Mr Northey}4/WT2.7.30. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}...from PN.{Mr Northey} 23-EX Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.2.7.30. I am glad to note that this car will be definitely ready for me on the 8th instant, when I come to Derby. Does it happen to have a head which is fairly protective from water? And are the windscreen wipers capable of working overtime? Because whenever I go on an open car the effect is generally to break up the weather badly. RECEIVED 4 JUL 1930 | ||
