X4249 Owing to domestic reasons, it is inconvenient for Bullamore to be away from home at present. He has asked not to be sent away. We are, therefore, proposing to send T. Maddocks to drive this car. He has had considerable experience driving in France both with the 20 HP. and the 40/50 H.P. He also knows LeCanadel and the district as he drove Mr. Johnson down there in 1920. We propose that he shall bring the car to W.W. on Tuesday the 13th.inst., he will cross over on the 14th.inst. Taking easy stages, he should arrive at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence on the 18th.Feb., unload the baggage and meet you at Toulon on the morning of the 21st.Feb.
