| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) from B.J. BJ10/H16.3.22. X1583 WAKEFIELD'S OIL AND GOSHAWK. Mr. Fisher of Wakefield's called on me to-day to apologise for their having referred to the 20-h.p. in their price list. He said it was due to his having been away ill, and that both he and his son knew that the 20-h.p. ought not to have been mentioned, but that someone else in the firm published the catalogue who did not know the necessity for secrecy. I had evidently misunderstood him on the telephone previously, when I understood him to say that neither he nor his son had been told of the necessity for secrecy. B.J.
