| URGENT 1070 S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3½ litre Jaguar. CxIO/KW31.3.38. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has asked me to tell you that he and I are arranging to try this car so that it can return to you on Monday. In view of existing arrangements it is necessary for me to try it some time tomorrow, and as your note is dated the 28th and you say you are sending it to London forthwith,I anticipated it would probably be at LH{Mr Haworth} now. At 4-30 this afternoon the car was not there. I hope you may be able to arrange for it to be in London by at latest noon tomorrow (Friday) so that I can carry out my part of the programme as intended. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Cub | ||
