| 1282 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/ML.16.7.40. Mr. Rose has just come to work here and is course, very badly situated with regard to his domicile. I should be glad if, for the time being you can let him have the maximum amount of petrol which is allowed and he will then proceed to make alternative arrangements.
