Dear Sir, SALE OF A.B.A. ASSETS This is to advise you that the sale of A.B.A. Assets, in the Wittenoom and Point Samson areas, to Messrs. Hancock and Wright was finalised on the 23rd March 1967. Messrs. Hancock and Wright have appointed Mr. R.G. Graham to be their Manager in the Wittenoom area. Mr. Graham assumed control today of all A.B.A. Assets with the exception of the Hotel Fortescue and the Retail Store. A.B.A. will continue to operate the Hotel and Store for a few days until Messrs. Hancock and Wright can finalise their management arrangements; we expect that all assets will be controlled by Messrs. Hancock and Wright early next week. Our Company will maintain representation in Wittenoom for the next two weeks only and in Perth for some months to attend to any outstanding matters. We take this opportunity of thanking you for the cooperation extended by your department to our Company over the years. Yours faithfully AUSTRALIAN BLUE ASBESTOS PTY. LIMITED (Signed) A.L. LLOYD
