| x361 To C. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/MJ.10.8.36. Confirming our telephone conversation this afternoon we are sending Mr. Pearson's car to Lillie Hall on Wednesday and have asked the driver to call in at Conduit Street on the way. He should be there about 11 a.m. We have kept the car an additional day to get rid of one or two rattles and squeaks. With reference to the Phantom lll for the week end about which I spoke to you. The gentleman who wishes to borrow this car is The Hon. W. Bethell, and the week end is the 21st. August. I feel fairly confident that if this can be arranged a Phantom lll sale would ultimately transpire. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
