C.U.A.S. DINNER.

Nobody from Derby seems to have any desire to attend this function; nor do I feel sufficiently unselfish to drive the 200 miles for the pleasure of meeting you in Cambridge.

I am afraid therefore that unless you provide me with a Chauffeur in Derby you will have to forego the pleasure of selling a few engines.

Can you let us know how many miles your Car has done since 30.11.33, as we are trying to get a record of miles run on Aerolite pistons.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Grylls.
