| 87941. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From G.W.H. Hotel de France, Chateauroux(French test region), FRANCE. 31/8/31 25-EX. Capt. Hallan has been in telephone communication with me re. trying 25-EX. He informed me that he would like the car Wednesday or Thursday this week as he is going into Brittany for approx. 10 days. This would give him an opportunity of obtaining his impression generally of the car. I have therefore arranged with him that we will endeavour to get the car as near perfect as we can in the time. If you have any objection to this arrangement, a telegram to Sevres during Wednesday or Thursday morning would be in time to stop the car going. We shall fit the new valve springs as his mileage would be an asset in seeing how they behave. As many other features as possible will be carried out before the car leaves here. G.W.Hancock.
