| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ8/H20.6.24. Y8770 Re Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG19.6.24. I am spending next week-end with R.{Sir Henry Royce} at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, and shall possibly be leaving London on Thursday night or Friday morning, as I am also probably attending an air function at Southampton on the 27th. Therefore if you are unable to let us have the car by mid-day on Thursday, the 26th, there is no particular hurry. If I could drive it down to W.W. on Thursday afternoon, this might be a useful opportunity of trying the car. On the other hand, please do not unduly hurry the matter on this account. B.J. | ||
