| X8840 Hotel de France, CHATEAUROUX. Indre. France. AJL.I/Crn.17.3.25. To: "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: A.J.Lidsey. -------------------- I beg to acknowledge receipt of the your letter of the 13th inst. We will fit the new radiator as soon as it arrives. Could you let us have some new velumoid engine joints, at the same time as the new pistons are sent. We should also like some F.{Mr Friese} 7140I side steering tube springs. The steering is almost impossible as regards road shocks if standard springs are fitted. I presume I shall be in order in leaving here on Wednesday the 24th instant. Will anyone be coming out here to take my place, or am I to leave one of the present drivers in charge ? We should have completed 10,000 miles by that date. A.J.LIDSEY. | ||
