Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 19-EX. Will you please note that I shall be arriving at Paris on the 28th inst. in order to take over 19-EX with Mr. Bentley. I have arranged with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} that 19-EX shall be back in Derby by 8th August. I shall wish to get down beyond Grenoble as quickly as possible in order that most of my running shall be of a hilly description and therefore I should like to leave the Hotel de Tremoille, rue de Tremoille (near the Showrooms) not later than 9 o'clock the following morning, Friday, in order that we can go straight through to Lyons that night which is 300 miles. I shall be pleased if you can again arrange for A.B. Roberts to be available to accompany the car. As Mrs. Northey will be accompanying us there will be four passengers in all with as small amount of luggage as possible. Pn.{Mr Northey} | ||
