| S/W. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Blb. X1185 PRIVATE. Pv/Blb.8/PH.5.7.33. LID{A. J. Lidsey} See me Dear Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, Wood and I have arranged to stay over night on Thursday and as we may have difficulty in getting accommodation due to the Show, we should greatly appreciate it if you could place a car at our disposal from 5.30 p.m. Thursday until the following morning. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} If you will give me the tip as to what time you will be ready to see Wood on Friday morning, I will arrange accordingly. We usually reach the works about 9.30 a.m. but if you would prefer to have more time to sort out your correspondence, etc. I could bring him via Tollerton as he has not yet seen the place and arrive at the works a bit later.
