Your ref. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KW.

Dear Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer},

Many thanks for yours of the 22nd. Friend Fossett will bring you up the tin of Lead on or about Wednesday next.

I note you say that you will order the final mixture from us, but, of course, we do not supply the fuel direct, but either the Anglo-American or Shell-Mex & B.P. Co. will be able to meet your specification.

Please let us know if we can be of any further help to you, and if you are not quite satisfied with any of the three fuels mentioned we can always modify them once we know in what way they are deficient.

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,
FRBanks

FRB/ER.
