| To: "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}", DERBY. x676. SEVRES Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}9/Dn26.7.33 Dear "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}", As I have not seen you in Paris since you returned from Switzerland, I assume that you have gone through without calling. Regarding the use of an Experimental Car whilst I am in England on my holiday, I have made application to "Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}", and am forwarding you copy of his reply. (Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E21.7.33). Assuming that "Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}" is in agreement to let me have the use of an Experimental Car, I anticipate that I should be in DERBY to collect it about the 10th August, and should like to use the car until the 26th August. If there should be a choice of cars, I would like a 25 HP. I hope you had an enjoyable trip to Switzerland. Since you left, the weather here has been hotter than ever. I should very much appreciate it if you could let me know something about the car as soon as possible, to enable me to make arrangements for my holiday. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, Lord | ||
