| W/S. PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X407 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG17724. RE. MERCEDES CAR. I am sorry I did not call in at Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} with the Mercedes car as arranged, but we did not get delivery of it from Barkers until nearly 5-o-clock so we decided to take it straight back to Derby. I propose bringing this car to London on Monday next the 21st. and shall be taking it to WW. on Tuesday, the following day. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
