With reference to your letter of the 23rd.inst., we now regret to advise you that since writing our letter of the 19th.inst., to you our Works have found that the RX.118 grade Seekay Wax will not be available for several months as yet, and we are therefore unable to offer a sample for experimental purposes. We regret having advised you that this grade of wax would probably be on offer in a few week's time, but hope we may again have the pleasure of submitting our offer to you when supplies do become available. Yours faithfully, FOR IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED. (Chemical Section) [Signature] | ||
