| Y 4013. To Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} (Sevres) From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/MJ.22.11.32. Mr. Coverely and Mr. Ellor are on they way to the Paris Show and we would very much like to take advantage of the offer which Mr. Faroux made at Derby, that he could arrange for them to meet Mons. Birkin of Hispano's so that they could look around their factory. It would be a useful thing whilst Coverley is over there if you could arrange for him to have a look around some of the other French places such as Hotchkiss, and Citroen. I expect they will arrive in Paris on Thursday and they will then be able to make some arrangment with you. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, | ||
