| XH553a. Mr.F.Dodd, c/o Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, FRANCE. To FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} from Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}5/KT. 22.2.33. BENSPORT. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} wants you to stay with Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} whilst he tries the car. I do not know how long he will be in France, but it should not be a very prolonged trip. I understood, when calling at Conduit Street, that he will be leaving France either Monday or Tuesday of next week; therefore I presume you will stay with him to the end of this period.
