| To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MAJ.17.10.30. X.7772. X.7941e. VISIT TO U.S.A. - 25.EX. I find that the boat which sails next Friday, the 25th., is the Mauretania. We cannot get 25-EX. car on this boat as the hatches are not big enough. The next available boat is the Homeric, which sails on the 28th. I am therefore arranging to book a passage for the car and myself on this boat. I am very anxious that you should try the car before it leaves and we should also like to get PN.{Mr Northey} to try it. I could arrange to bring it to London on Wednesday of next week if this will be convenient to you. If not, will you please suggest another date. We should also like you to say where it would be convenient for you to meet the car. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
