Dear Banks,

We have gone over the question of lead and we are arranging to get the petrol people to supply us with high concentrations when we need them. We wish however to keep the stock here in case we wish to make any special tests. We are therefore reducing our order from 48 cans to 24 cans and we hope that this stock will last us for some considerable time.

Yours faithfully,

For Rolls-Royce Ltd.
