The writer has just had sight of the correspondence which passed between us during November and December of last year, and very much regrets that a considerable time has elapsed since our last negotiations with you in connection with the Simmonds Fram Oil and Engine Cleaner. However, we are now able to advise you that our production arrangements are in full swing, and you have no doubt observed the references to the Fram in the motoring press. It is a very efficient device indeed, and we very much appreciate the consideration you have given to the possibility of using it on your chassis. Unfortunately the writer learns that the oil samples which you sent along for test were too small to enable us to give you any information about them, and if you are in a position to do so, perhaps you will be good enough to send further samples in considerably larger quantities. cont'd ....
