T f i ( J s , 7 7 .C 1 H. P. Hoopes - 2 - 11/25/68 As I mentioned to you in my letter of November 8, one of the key points with regard to the Ric-Wil deal in Belgium is the availability of fiber. Undoubtedly, Dick Gage is the only one who can supply the answer to this question. I would estimate that for the initial tonnage requirements it will be about 50% of our current usage. At this writing, I do not know whether you found out anything regarding V ' the availability of unibestos type material from South Africa. This may ' also be a Dick Gage subject. Jack Tillery is back in the country for a ' * few days and called me this morning, indicating he still needs a source of supply. I am hoping you will have something to report on this sublect when you return. J This morning I received a letter from you dated October 4, which is an example of the type of communication problem we have. Fortunately all of your mail did not take this length of time. Anything you can determine while in London regarding the world wide insulation business and how it is handled will be very helpful to us. *" Use your judgment with regard to contacting people like Turner Newhall. 'o Perhaps the Darlington friends can give you some idea on pricing practices c as they relate to international insulation sales. r I imagine by this time that both you and Betty are anxious to return to good old U.S.A. The overall trip must have beenvery interesting to oth and I am very happy you had the opportunity. Sorry that I am not able to meet you in London. If you have not completely used up your quota, the Dunhill pipes will still be most welcome, even if you have to carry one in your mouth as you go thru customs. One final item as a favor.to Dorothy Johnston in the Overseas Department there is apparently an excellent medicine for migraine headaches, which * is only available in London - it is called "Veganin". If you could pick up 2 - 5 0 tablet tubes, which I understand sells for 6/6 each, I am told she will be forever grateful. I guess this finishes it. Nordstrom P.S. We are currently producing s u p e r ^ l t e m p with some problems but the product meets the desired quality standards.
