| 7 letters copied / No! 13 | * ORIGINAL Hotel de l'Ouest Laval As from Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} CGII May 24 1922 X4086 I have received your telegram asking if 69H can meet C.J. in Paris on June 1st and I have wired to you that it can if cylinder head is satisfactory when it arrives. Will you therefore send definite instructions to me where the car should be sent to and at what time. I propose to send Bullamore with it as he knows the roads and C.J's requirements. Can you tell me how long the car will be away and whether it will be returned here. Waldron will return home when Bullamore arrives and if 69H will be away a length of time Archer can return also. *When the car has gone we will get away to the mountains as requested.* In reply to the enquiry in your H53/49 22.5.22 regarding the amount of water lost when boiling I do not think we have ever lost more than 1/2 gallons at the most.
