| wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Lcr7/L91114 November 9th. 1914. Mr Chas. Bowen, Vernon House, Friars Place Lane, East Acton. London. W. Dear Bowen, I regret that Hives was away from the Works on Friday last and it was therefore impossible to get his signature to the reference that I forwarded you in time for you to receive the reference on Saturday, which I understood was the day you required it. I therefore signed the reference myself. If you will kindly return this to me I will send you a duplicate signed by Mr Hives, which should be of more value to you. Yours faithfully, X449 | ||
