| X.4588 H1/TB/4.6.23 URGENT. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Re:- Sir Eric Geddes' Pierce-Arrow Car. Replying to your memo, please note that, of the days during which Mr. Royce will be in London, only the morning of the 7th., i.e., Thursday, is mutually suitable to him and Sir Eric Geddes. As Mr. Royce has written desiring that you should collect the car and bring it to him at the Russell Hotel, will you kindly arrange to come up on the evening of the 6th., so that you and R.{Sir Henry Royce} can have the whole of the morning of the 7th. on the car. Meanwhile, I will ascertain from Sir Eric where the car is, or whether his driver will bring it here to pick you up. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
