| HOTEL MEURICE BOULOGNE-SUR-MER Téléph. 107 Télégr.{George Ratcliffe} Meurice-Boulogne-s/-Mer X1729a 4/11/34 To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We were delayed on our way down through picking up an half inch bolt in the NS{Norman Scott} rear tyre which scrapped it. The Cadillac jack refused to lift the car and jammed. We called in Cricklewood and obtained a jack and a new tyre. The car so far is run very well last night. | ||
