As requested in your memo of the 29th ult., reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG.29.7.20. we forwarded an order to The Shell Marketing Co, Duke Street, Derby, for enough Boilerine Tablets to treat 50 gallons of Water. We received a visit from their representative this afternoon who informed us that neither of the Derby or Birmingham branch of their Company know anything of this matter. Perhaps you could let us have some of the printed matter in your possession to enable us to deal further in this matter.
