Yours very truly, S.E. Bowrey Director & Chief Chemist. P.S. You may be interested in seeing the enclosed copy of Sir Malcolm Stewart's letter to Mr. Sidgreaves dated November 1936 from which you will see that he has been an ardent supporter of our oils for a great number of years and he has used nothing but N.P.3. on his many Rolls Royce and Bentley cars.
