RE. VISIT TO DERBY. X1698

We certainly hope to see you in Derby before EAC.7. is being built. At the moment we have not yet received your instructions for EAC.8. We have given up hopes of having EAC.8. ready to take to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence at the end of this month.

The only car which may be available is the 20 HP.

Since we have received R's wire in which he says the improved steering column support should be fitted, we doubt whether this car will be ready.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
