Dear Sirs,

For the attention of Mr. Hives.

We have now tested the sample of Aviation Fuel which we collected from your works, and are looking forward to receiving an order from you for a quantity for use in your Expl. Department, with a view to your giving it a preliminary trial.

The spirit we should supply is at least equal in every respect to the sample and of course is fully up to the Air Ministry Specification D.T.D.134.

Yours faithfully,
CARLESS, CAPEL & LEONARD.
