Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 12th instant acknowledging ours of the 5th instant, which was marked for the attention of Mr. Grylls, on the subject of oil recommendations, and we are extremely sorry to hear that Mr. Grylls is still away. We quite appreciate that you would prefer to hold this matter over until his return after Easter, and as the writer happens to be in Derby on the morning of the 26th, we are wondering if you would be kind enough to let us know whether you anticipate Mr. Grylls' return by that date, as if so, the writer would particularly like to see him again and discuss the points raised in the correspondence to which we refer. We would suggest tentatively, between 10 and 10.30 that morning and trust that this will be convenient to Mr. Grylls. Yours faithfully, For SHELL-MEX AND B.P.LTD. M.M.
