Lidsey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}14/KT.6.4.33. Re. India Tyres for Bentley. We ordered 6, 5.50 x 18" India Tyres to be sent direct to you from the makers last Friday. Upon enquiry today we find that they have been put on board ship at Glasgow and are coming to you via Nantes; it will be at least a week before they arrive. In view of this we have today ordered a second set which are being sent to Sevres and should arrive there on Saturday (8th inst). We have written to Sevres informing them who they are for, and have asked them to inform you immediately they arrive. Perhaps you will tell Sevres how to send them on to you.
