HDA/JA'-1/46D 4th January 106-t. R. B. B. Lansdowne Esq., P. 0. Box NO: 6 50 0, MONTREAL 3C, P. mpg Dear John. ANN I am indeed distressed if my letter of the 21st December has causedyou annoyance. Dilring my visit in February last I observed certain places where P. T. F. E. was both used In contact with tobacco and had undergone considerable wear - for example on the Rose n3achines packing tobar-co at (ranby. It is my recollection that, on discussing this, Laporte did not know P. T. F. E. was still being used, and that youl. while deprecating it, maintained that it must be uned until something else could be fourd. Also, I thought I gather-d from your conversa- tion in my offj cp that not only wr s r. T. F.- E. still Thing used. but you thought frnm what you had heard at Nottingham that this could be condoned. If I was wrong, and yott had already rem;.-, -?d it from such places, I send you my sincerist apolugInn. Urifortu- nately, Mr. Rnbaon hap now no recollection of whether T. 'L. F. E. waa or was not in use at Granby, so I must wait until I see you. in a few weeks' time. With Undast regards, Yours sincerely, Ogd.) H. D. Andureon. ? c. c. Mr. E. C. ood Mr. J.M. Keith Mr. D. S.F.
