| X1775 W/Paris. To Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}13/KT.15.6.33. Rodwell Banks of the Ethyl Export Corporation who did all the work for us on the Schneider Trophy fuel wants to get hold of a Frenchman who can speak English and who has good technical qualifications equal to an English degree to act as their agent in Paris. I told him that it was just possible that you would know of somebody, and should be very glad if you could think of someone. The main point they seem emphatic on is that the fellow should be able to speak good English. (Salary £750. approx.) When are you coming over for your visit to Derby? Please give us due warning so that we can make sure that we are available to entertain you. Kind regards to yourself & Mrs.Hallam. Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
