[Handwritten top right]: 48770 To CJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Strikethrough]: to D.J. S E C R E T. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG29.11.24. 93-NK. We think it is practically certain that we shall bring this car to London on Wednesday. We will telephone from WW. on Tuesday to confirm this. When the car is being tried in London, I should like to stay with it for a time. We think that we are in a position to be able to point out the doubtful features and the desirable features on this car. We also wish to have the opportunity of discussing any criticisms which are made, actually on the car. [Handwritten in blue ink]: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By all means.
