| "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" Derby X7770 X677 HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}10/Dn/MM.6.5.27. re 12-EX. You will no doubt remember that a touring acquit was taken out for the above car when it came to France in July last, and this acquit expires on the 3rd July 1927, that is to say two months hence. The General Transport C° have advised us that when the car was shipped back to England, on the 16th September 1926, only a temporary exit was stamped on the acquit, and they would therefore like to know whether car will be returning to France this year before the expiration date, or whether they should have the acquit cancelled now. As we are not quite certain as to what your intentions are in this respect, would you kindly let us know as soon as possible what reply we are to give ? Hk.{Col. T. Harker - Sales} | ||
