With reference to Mr Royce's memo R18/B26316, re the test of Sternal Oil, we have not at present received a report on the sample which we understand was sent away for analysis, and which our records show is waiting your attention. Would you kindly let us have copies of results of these analyses, both from our Chemist and from the outside Analists, for transmission to Mr Royce and for filing purposes.

Oil known as Sternol" We have no record of any report ever having been sent to Mr Royce in connection with the above.
