| TELEPHONE Nọ 7854 AVENUE (TWO LINES) 90, FENCHURCH STREET, LONDON, E.C.3. August 27th, 1918. Dear Mr. Hives, As arranged between yourself and our Mr. Rippon, I shall leave London to-morrow by the 4-5 due at Derby 7-8. If you could spare the time, perhaps you would give me the pleasure of your company at dinner, as that would give us a better opportunity and more time to discuss matters. I should much appreciate this, if convenient to yourself. Failing this, I will call at the Works on Thursday morning. Yours very truly, [Signature] E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hives, Esq. | ||
