| W/P - Sr. X1104 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.32/KW.17.7.36. Re Citroen Parts. Replying to Sr/Crn.1/16.7.36. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has left for a week's holiday an hour or so ago. I am just off for two weeks to Germany and Austria, but do not think I shall be calling at Paris on my return. If you are able to get in contact with Pierre Michelin during our holidays (hopeful) it would be excellent. We could buy a second-hand car here for £150 but it would not have the latest parts, and the earlier ones do not appear to be sufficiently reliable. I do hope you will be able to get these parts.
