We have been requested by the latter to arrange for the necessary instructions to be given to Mr. Hancock to make the direct request for this oil from the Paris Office and not make arrangements for delivery through Rolls-Royce, Paris. The main reason is, of course, that the Paris Office deliver PATENT CASTROL XL to Rolls-Royce, Paris regularly, and we are particularly anxious that there should be no hitch. Will you arrange for Derby to get in touch with Mr. Hancock and give him the necessary instructions to apply direct to our Paris Office for the oil. The address is as follows:- La{L. A. Archer} Société Anonyme des Huiles Castrol, 20, Rue du Moulin-des-Bruyères, COURBEVOIE (Seine), France. Yours faithfully, C. C. WAKEFIELD & CO. LIMITED. | ||
