Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/MJ.19.2.32.

With reference to the attached, we suggest the following letter might be sent. -

Dear Sir,

We wish to make it clear that we do not make any definite recommendation as regards the use of National Benzole Mixture on Rolls-Royce cars. We go to a lot of trouble to make sure that our cars will satisfactorily operate on all fuels distributed throughout the world, and have no intention of recommending any special brand of fuel.

Yours faithfully, etc.
