Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} I do not know whether I made it perfectly clear to you that it is essential for you to send a report in regularly every day whether the car is running or not. This can easily be done as Croyden cannot be over-worked. On the run to London I noticed that the cutout stuck open - we had to close it with a hammer. We should like you to let us know what you have done to overcome this. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
