Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson} Copy to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson}1/T10.10.39 Thank you for your Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}4/R.S.9.10.39. I am sorry that the information regarding mileage, which was supplied to me, has led to a misunderstanding. Your original estimate of approximately 4 gallons per week appears to be correct. Will you please get in touch with me when you want this supply. As regards the last paragraph of your note where you say standard rationing, I take it you mean the ration of 7 gallons per month and not the additional 18. These are, of course, to be used in connection with work entirely. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson} | ||
