Dear Mr. Grylls, Very many thanks for yours of the 8th instant which clears up any doubt which we may have had regarding labels indicating which grade of oils were used in your Works. It is most re-assuring to know that in future your outside Inspectors will show complete impartiality over all oils shown in your instruction book. As soon as I have some news regarding the meeting which we are having with the other companies concerned, I will write you further. In the meantime, very many thanks, Yours sincerely, [Signature] | ||
