Dear Mrs. Hall, Thank you for your letters re. Discol and the accident to BGO-387. E.R. will doubtless have told you that we are getting such excellent results on Ethyl that we do not want to change over to Discol at the moment, particularly as the Discol we have so far tried is considerably inferior to 'Esso'. E.R. was interested in information re. the French GrandPrix and I attach a copy of extracts from a letter we have received this morning on the subject. I attach also herewith, details of the accident, as requested. Yours sincerely, | ||
