As a matter of fact, our Medical Department in the States has just written to us about the whole subject of l-litre cans, asking us to cut down their use as much as possible and we, on our part, would not like to have any trouble such as a lead poisoning case amongst your personnel, because the repercussions would be considerable, both to yourselves and us.

Unless you hear further from me, I will come up to Derby on Wednesday next, the 6th December, and perhaps we could have lunch together. Please forgive this rather long letter.

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,
F.R. Banks.
