| x 400. PER BAG. W/S. Bkl. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}2/MA.19.12.32. PEREGRINE. In reply to Bkl.1/WT.14.12.32., we regret that one of the two cars in question will not be available tomorrow for photographs. It is at present in a partly dismantled state, being prepared for the next 10,000 miles test. If you can arrange to come on Wednesday (the 21st., inst.) the car will then be sufficiently complete for your purpose. We are sorry not to have let you know before, but we were hoping that the car would have been complete by the 20th., inst. With reference to the last paragraph, there is no possibility of the close coupled all weather body being fitted to a chassis before the 29th., inst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J.
