| x899- [Crossed out text] Mr Lovesey, O.c. Test Section Derby Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rg{Mr Rowledge}3/ME.2.5.30. I am sorry I have not more promptly sent you along the information asked for in your memo. This is due to the Easter Holidays, and the fact, that after getting through the winter successfully, I had a bad cold in the head after the Holidays. I expect Mr. Hives and Mr. Elliott will have brought you almost up to date as regards what is happening here, and think if we let you have information from the time they left Derby, together with some sort of selection covering the previous period, you will find this quite satisfactory.
