S/W x7960: To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 27-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E9.12.31 Referring to the appointment made to meet you at Bignall's Corner at 12 o'clock on Friday, I find that we shall not be able to bring our Continental Trials car because it is in Paris and is not due back until a few days before Christmas. We can, however, I think, manage without this car. PN{Mr Northey}, as you know, is away but I shall be bringing Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} with me as he has a very good knowledge of the performance of our car. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} [Stamp: RECEIVED 9 DEC 1931] | ||
