I hear from Olley that Messrs Seaholm and Thomson will be at the Salon on the 5th, and will be staying at the George V.{VIENNA} Seaholm is Chief Engineer of Cadillacs, Thompson one of General Motors technical experts.

Could you or Slater get into touch with them and do anything you can to make them happy until I come over.

Kind regards to Mrs Hallam,
