| X4199 Chateauroux, Indre, France. June 28th, 1924. To "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From A.J.Lidsey. ---------------- Re Accident at Pouilly 26.6.24. We went to Pouilly yesterday and inter-viewed the Doctor in whose charge the injured boy is. The boy's condition does not appear to be quite so serious as was at first thought. The doctor states should no complications arise there is a good chance of the boy's recovery. We did not see the boy himself as there was nothing to be gained by doing so. The doctor is going to write us should any change take place in the boy's condition. With regard to insurance, there were no outside witnesses at all. The particulars of the insurance token N°450 were taken by the Police authorities, Gendarmerie Nationale, Pouilly-sur-Loire, Nièvre. We have done everything we can for the present, and can now only await developements. I have received the set up springs for measuring servo output, also 8 new side steering tube springs, which we are fitting immediately. A.J.LIDSEY. | ||
