| X1812C HSL/LG. 24th. Sept. 1921. Geo. Roberts, Co/ Peak Frean & Co. Ltd., Drummond Rd. London, S.E.16. Dear Sir, Referring to your letter of the 23rd. inst. We have now traced that the registered parcel was received at these Works on the 13th. July and was handed to the Experimental Dept. Since then we have lost trace of them. We very much regret this incident and are making every effort to locate these Plugs. It may, however, save delay if you could obtain for us further samples. If you have by you one sample plug we could, from that, give you a preliminary report as to the possible success of the plug. Yours faithfully, | ||
