| Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1588 X985 Hsl/LG19.2.23. RE. DELIVERY OF PETROL. We should be pleased if you could arrange for us to obtain the supply of petrol more quickly. We sent a requisition for petrol on Tuesday 13th. inst. and it still has not arrived. We frequently have delays of this sort. It is necessary for us to obtain petrol as soon as possible after we have ordered it because we have only a small capacity for storage.
