To "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: E.G.Croydon. --------------- Mr. Lidsey left at 3 a.m. this morning, with 98 NK, for Derby. Messrs. Harvey, Thornhill & Lytton caught the next train, and are following on. In Mr. Lidsey's absence I opened your letter dated the 23rd inst., addressed to him, and understand that I am to hold myself in readiness to proceed to Boulogne to get chassis 93 NK through the customs. I have also received information to this effect from "HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}", and am therefore leaving for Paris to-morrow, to await your definite instructions. Mr. Lidsey wired to the transport agents at Boulogne, intimating that he wished to cross to England to-night, and we received confirmatory news that this would be in order. Therefore, Mr. Lidsey should not have any difficulty in crossing to-night with the car. E.G.CROYDON. | ||
