| X4588 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ7/H24.5.23. Sir Eric Geddes' Pierce Arrow Car. With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG23.5.23, Mr. Royce has written to say that he will be in London about the 7th June. Under the circumstances perhaps it would be better for you to try the car whilst he is in London and then arrange to take him out in it at the same time, if possible. I gather from Mr. Royce that he does not want to have people at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town just now, as his house is in the hands of the builders. I will try to arrange with Sir Eric Geddes for this test if that date will suit you. B.J. | ||
