| Copy of Memo. 175S Lord Northcliffe. Mr. Barnes 8.5.12 Will you please note that as Mr. Cox today informed me the car had been left at Gravesend with a broken spring shackle, & as N were unable to supply the new part or a man we are despatching both with the owner's driver to Gravesend. Will you please let us have a job number. Presumably R.R. will have to bear expense? (Sgd) n.o X652 | ||
