The message
from "someone" contains these words:

My local chemist who I have known for years won't sell me oxalic acid
(which
I want to use for bleaching old linen and cotton fabrics) because it's no
longer permitted. It used to be, in the days when we were treated as
adults.

I shall probably boil down rhubarb leaves and bleach the liquor - I want
it for removing iron stains from wood.
