Dear Mr Hives

I see by this morning's paper that the speed-boat 'Miss England' has been partly raised from the wreck & has been completed. I take it that the adjourned inquest on its owner Segrave & one of his men will be held soon after.

As you are of course quite aware it would be my desire and also that of his mother that I should be present at the inquest.

Yours very sincerely
H W Halliwell

P.S. I hope to forward you memorial cards during tomorrow.
