To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Sir Henry Segrave.

+7770.

I saw him yesterday for a few minutes with his 20/25, with which by the way he is delighted.

He mentioned that his Secretary telephoned and advised Derby of his inability to come up there on the 14th last, and he is planning to come up to Derby with the car in the very near future and will let us know when.

He mentioned about a bad oil leak from the back axle of his 40/50 which N. had been unable to cure. This seemed to me very curious and I was going to write to you about it. I have received the attached this morning which you might please look through and return. I should like in due course to know what the trouble really is and why it was that N. could not put it right.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
