| 84013. W/Paris. Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}4/KT.5.1.33. Dear Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} Very many thanks for your letter of the 22nd of last month. We are glad that the treasury rating does not appear to have a disheartening effect on the sales of Ford, and Essex, in France. We have been looking at the table of registration compiled by the 'Motor' and we notice that last year only 4, 30 HP. cars were sold during February, whereas this year during the same month over 160 have been registered in England, of which we presume 95% are the new Ford. Every Good Wish to you and Mrs.Hallam for the New Year. I saw Roland Toft the other day, who asked to be remembered to you, and said he would look you up on his next visit to Paris. Yours sincerely, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
