| "HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" Derby X4199 HK{Col. T. Harker - Sales}32/MM.30.3.28. In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG28.3.28, Butler drew Fcs.5,000 (five thousand francs) from this Company when he came through here about three weeks ago. He did not draw anymore from us on his last trip. I am pleased to hear that the coffin arrived in Derby. It was rather a complicated matter getting all the formalities through, but we did our best to get this done with the least possible delay. HK.{Col. T. Harker - Sales} [Signature] | ||
