Hôtel de France,
Châteauroux,
Indre.

20/6/29.

We have to-day received a letter from Mr. Northey stating that he is arriving at Châteauroux on Sunday and wants us to go along with him accompanied by 21-EX for about 100 miles; then we have to return here with the 20-HP. We suppose this means that we are to continue on with the 20-HP after Mr. Northey's departure and complete the 10.000 miles. Will you please confirm this.
