DescriptionBoys has just come across draft notes written by his father, Charles Vernon Boys, on his connection with the Gas Referees. He does not know why the notes were composed but thinks they were never used. C V Boys must have written them at the end of his association, when his relations with Board of Trade officials were strained, 'a matter about which the less said the better'.
