Visit to W: On Thursday next, the 8th instant, I am bringing Mr. Piesse, Managing Director of H.J. Mulliner & Co. Ltd., the Coachbuilders of Chiswick, to Derby to look round the chassis works by permission of Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and as already notified to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has told me to tell you he has known Mr.Piesse for over thirty years, that he is a very enthusiastic supporter of R.R. and Bentley, that he wishes Mr. Piesse to see everything which may interest him - but of course nothing secret - and that he would like him entertained to luncheon with officials of the chassis side. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has already kindly arranged for a guide to be available to show Mr. Piesse round the cha sis works. Perhaps you will be good enough to see that this guide is informed of Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s wishes and also give instructions for the luncheon to be arranged. Hn{F. C.
