I have tried to borrow two cars for Wednesday and Thursday of next week - a 'Packard' from Capt. Bowman of Car Mart, and a 'Chrysler' from Mr. Manning of Messrs. Barkers. I should be very glad if you could ring these two gentlemen up and find out what they have been able to fix, you could then let me know on the 3 o'clock call on Monday. If they are not certain what they can do by this time, you could speak to me again on the 3 o'clock call on Tuesday. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
