| 1282 To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /EAG. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /EAG.1/ET.2.4.42. I understand from AA. {D. Abbot Anderson} that you have no record of my car being used on Company's business. I wish to point out that, since March 1941, I have driven it 768½ miles on Company's business, of which I have a detailed re- cord. I have only claimed 6 gallons additional petrol for this mileage, having used my basic ration in place of that not claimed. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /EAG. | ||
