| X6003 G/CAM. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.5/MA.13.8.36. With reference to your G/CAM/WHP.23/WP.12.8.36, the thermometer in question has been received by us for test purposes, but was not ordered officially by anyone in this Firm. Actually it has been returned to Messrs.Smith for a modification and as we do not know yet whether it is suitable for our purposes the invoice should be held over until we have had a chance to test it.
