| R.R. 251A 50 T: (S.H. 928) 19-11-19. O. {Mr Oldham} 2527 -2- examined. My car has now run four thousand miles and the cylinders are coming off tomorrow for cleaning etc. The Riviera appears to be still crowded and I have plenty to occupy me very usefully in the next few days anyhow. R.R's are as frequent as taxis here. There is a 12 cylinder Lancia car here giving demonstrations. I shall endeavour to try it. I have wired asking for letters to be sent to me at the Hotel Bristol & Majestic, Monaco, as I leave here tomorrow. Yours ever, (Sgd) P.N. | ||
