DERBY.

Dear Sirs,

SPECIAL AVIATION FUEL.

We thank you for your letter of yesterday's date and are very sorry to hear that you have not yet had an opportunity of testing the barrel of Fuel which we sent you on May 4th last.

We hope you will soon be able to test this, as we understood, in view of the explanations which were given when Mr. Leonard called to see you prior to this delivery, that there were no technical difficulties in the way of your taking some supplies of this fuel from us.

Mr. Leonard will be pleased to call to see you again regarding this when he returns from holidays at the end of August.

Yours faithfully,

Carless, Capel & Leonard.
