Dear Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

With reference to Parkin's letter of the 10th, I do not think that you need worry about the Schneider fuel as supplied by Messrs. Shell-Mex & B.P. Ltd., to Hawkers.

They have had quite good experience in making up "fancy" fuels and there should be no trouble in this case.

As a matter of fact, I seem to remember that they supplied quite a lot of it to you for all the work done on "Miss England" and I presume that these supplies were always satisfactory.

I rang up Messrs. Shell-Mex & B.P. to-day and asked them to take the greatest care over this fuel.

Kindest regards,

Yours sincerely,
F R Banks
