| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. Y8770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG11.12.24. EAC. 93-NK. CAR Y8770 With reference to your request that this car should meet you at the Albert Hall early on Friday after-noon. We think it is doubtful whether the car will be ready in time. Also the risk of fogs appears to be great at the moment. We therefore propose to send the car to Gerrards Cross. It will arrive at your House tomorrow evening so that it will be ready for you to try it early on Saturday. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
