Dear Sirs,

SPECIAL AVIATION FUEL.

We hope the fifty gallon barrel of Special Aviation Fuel supplied to you on the 29th April last proved satisfactory on trial and we should very much like to be favoured with a further order in bulk.

If there are any points you would like to discuss, Mr. Julian Leonard would be pleased to see you if you would kindly make an appointment.

Yours faithfully,

Carless, Capel & Leonard
