| DIVISIONAL PETROLEUM OFFICE, St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} Martin's Street, Five Ways, BIRMINGHAM, 15. NO 34. PLEASE QUOTE. REF NO. M {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} /.101145..... ....9th. April.....1940. Dear Sir, CAR NO. C.H.P. 194. Your application form and Registration Book are returned in order that you may refer it to your employers for their recommendation. Many firms have undertaken to recommend the applications of their officers and employees in cases where real difficulty would be experienced in getting to work without the use of a motor vehicle. Such a recommendation is desirable in every case, as without it searching enquiries would be necessary before any allowance could be made. The Registration Book and application form should be returned with your reply. Yours faithfully, W Rochman Divisional Petroleum Officer.
