| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. c. to BJ. [Signature] Y3840 27 Hsl/LG3.12.23. LE-CANADEL. It would be more useful, as an experimental car, to run 5-G-11 at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence rather than 4-C-11. It would also be a good test for the Beatonson Body. As regards a man to drive the car, we suggest that we send a Chauffeur - a man who will wash the car and make himself useful. We have a man in view who understands the car and is willing to do this job. It would mean that the driver would collect the car from WW. on Monday the 10th. and would then have time, if necessary, to take any luggage to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence before meeting you at Toulon on the 19th.inst.
