| 85992. Sir. Henry Royce Bart., "Les Mimosas" Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, Per le Lavandou, (VAR) FRANCE. To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/MJ.9.4.32. I am afraid that Mr. Hancock will not arrive in France until somewhere about the 19th. or 20th., so that the earliest time he could arrive in Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence will be somewhere about the 23rd.inst. If you have left before that date we hope that you will be able to arrange to leave the luggage so that he can pick it up and get it to the coast. We are doing our best to get some useful parts on the car. The chief point of interest of course, is the new expanding carburetter. We want to embody on this your latest suggestions, and for this reason the car will be later than the date we anticipated. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
