| G.W. Hancock, Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. x5840 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.19.11.34. Referring to the expense item which we queried. We appreciate that Rose did pay this money out of his own pocket. The point is, we expect the men to query extortionate charges even though the money they pay out is the Firm's. We think that in this case 24 Francs was excessive, but shall not debit Rose with any of this expense. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
