We have arranged to meet PN.{Mr Northey} and CWB.
outside Paris on Thursday morning the 3rd. Jan. Will
you please therefore arrange to hand the car over to
CWB. on Wednesday the 2nd. Jan. even though you have not
completed the 9000 miles.

On the way back from Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence I propose
coming to Chateauroux. We expect this will be somewhere
about the 10th. or 11th. Jan.

We are taking both 18-EX and 19-EX
to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence and shall leave 19-EX as previously arranged
and bring away 18-EX so that you can carry out the examination
of the car.

As soon as you have any men to spare you
should send them back to Derby.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
