| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4199 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG11.4.28. 15-EX - ACCIDENT IN FRANCE. X 89406 I had already sent your original letter to Mr. Butler before the revised one came to hand. He very much appreciated your sympathy and kindness. They would no doubt value your hand written letter much more than if we had sent a type-written one signed by the firm. We attach herewith a copy of a letter we have received from Mr. Butler. We have always taken out special insurances both for the drivers and the cars when running in France. 12-EX car will arrive at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence on Thursday afternoon the 19th. inst. We are sorry that we have not been able to get it there earlier so that you would have had more time to examine it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
