8180. BLB. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} 29.8.32. PRIVATE. With reference to your letter of the 27th inst, re a car for Wood's use at Andover, 'Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' is away at W.W. at the moment and has asked me to inform you that the only car we can offer is the Alfa Romeo. This car is really quite tame and does not need a lot of special treatment to run it. All that is necessary is to add oil to the petrol when filling up. If you like to obtain Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s permission, it will not inconvenience us in the slightest. Sorry we have not anything else to offer at the moment. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} [Handwritten notes:] [Inside red circle:] Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Land hondor [Red scribble:] Lu nu [Blue scribbles:] S.A. Msa Tain with us | ||
