We are in receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., reference T.D. for which we thank you. In writing to you previously we omitted to mention that our correspondent of last week informed us that when he had asked his local garage to provide him with some mineral oil for use in the car for storage purposes, they had sent him some Price's Olympia "L". He wanted to know whether it would be all right for him to use this particular oil. As we have no knowledge of this particular grade will you please let us know whether it is a mineral oil, and if it is suitable for storage purposes. Thanking you for your kind attention to this matter. We are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, | ||
