| X1729a To Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}; from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 22/KW. 21.1.35. As I shall be in London on Wednesday I have decided to come to the Coachbuilders dinner after all. Will you please let me know when it starts. Ward rang me up and pointed out that he could not go to France because he would be at the dinner, and under the circumstances I told him we would leave the cars over there until the evening boat on Thursday. This will give him a chance to dash over there and have an hour or two on them before they come back. Possibly if the cars are available on Thursday afternoon you may be able to persuade somebody else to go. Actually it is a good thing the others are going on Wednesday because they will be able to give more time to the job. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
