GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

We have received your letter of the 19th.inst.
and hope by now the weather is favourable for you to carry out the tests.

We wired you today as follows :-

"BEFORE RETURNING VISIT MR. SCHLEY SAN FRANCOIS GRASSE FRANCE WHO IS COMPLAINING OF BOILING".

We should like you to wire us your movements because I am trying to get a 40/50 HP. car built up with a 3" deeper matrix and to have it sent out to Italy.
My proposal is that we could meet you out there and perhaps carry out tests on that car on hills on which you have compared the other cars. Will you please therefore let us know your movements.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
