Further to your memo. of the 21st ulto., reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}11/MH{M. Huckerby}, instructing for an Order to be issued to the Vacuum Oil Co. Ltd. for 5 gallons of inhibitor treated Mobiloil A.{Mr Adams} We have received invoices from this firm for 2 - 5 gallon drums of Oil, but they do not appear to have charged us with the 1 gallon which was already in your possession at the time the above mentioned memo. was issued. Apparently instead of sending 4 gallons as you requested, they have sent 10 gallons, contained in 2 drums. Kindly say if we may pay for 10 gallons. G/WFH.
