Messrs. C.C.Wakefield & Co.,
Wakefield House,

London E.C.2.

Dear Sirs,

We have been carrying out some investigations in connection with the frothing of castor and castrol oil.

Our tests shew that a pure mineral oil or a castor oil with certain mixtures of mineral oil are less liable to froth than the pure castor.

We consider that it would be of material assistance to us if you could send a representative over to discuss the results of our tests.

Yours faithfully,
