| [Handwritten in red pencil] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten] x7941@ [Stamped] RECEIVED 25 OCT 1930 H To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 25-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E24.10.30 Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} With further reference to our conversation of yesterday I thought it as well to write to Mr.Beaver, just reminding him of the reason for the trip which you are making, and I have written as per the enclosed copy. As mentioned to you I am very anxious that they should not be given any reason for endeavouring to adopt the position that this is a sample sent to them for approval or otherwise as this was not called for under the contract and was never suggested as being even desirable at the date the order was placed.
