I should consider it a favour if you would confirm that you are coming on this date about a week before you actually arrive, so that we may make sure that we are ready for you. If it would be any convenience for you to stop over-night in Derby, we should be pleased to arrange for you to be put up. Yours sincerely, [Handwritten annotation] Sent to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
