| W/S PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 49946 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG3.1.24. With reference to your telephonic conversation this morning. Rg.{Mr Rowledge} and myself will be very pleased to have Dinner with you on Tuesday night. Unless we hear to the contrary, we will meet you at the Savoy Club, Picadilly at 7-30 p.m. on the evening of the 8th.inst. In case of any alteration in the arrangement, we shall be at WW. on Monday and Tuesday. I have consulted Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} on the question of when it will be possible to complete the special car for you. The best promise we can possibly make is that we will deliver the car complete to you in London on Feb.1st. so that you can start on Feb. 2nd. We do not think it will be possible to improve upon this date and at the same time to give you something that would be worth running. We shall be able to discuss particulars when we see you on Tuesday. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
