| HK.{Col. T. Harker - Sales} Paris - From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5840a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/LG18.3.26. CHATEAUROUX. 43842 The 20 HP. car (10-G-111) which is at present on its way to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence will stay at Chateauroux on its return from Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence and run a 10,000 miles test. We shall require for Chateauroux someone to replace Croyden. I think you know our requirements pretty well. We want a good interpreter who can get the men out of any difficulties which arise and can use tact. Will you please let us know what you can do. We anticipate the car will be at Chateauroux in about 10 days. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
