Sidgreaves - MD}19/E27.3.34 I lent one last Sunday to Mr.Minchin. I gathered that he had had an earlier run and did not seem to be very favourably impressed. I was very anxious to let him have one to himself for at least a whole day. I enclose copy of letter received from him which I think is one of the best we have had. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Enc. Copy of letter from Mr.Minchin dated 26.3.34 | ||
