DEAR SIR,
With regard to the composition applied by you to the Bollers and Steam Pipes of this Steamer, I beg to State that it has given every satisfaction.
The Donkey Boller, which is on the upper dock and totally exposed to the weather, Had a very severe test last trip, and ress breaking over it continually did not detach any of the composition nor has it in any way deteriorated.
In my opinion it is one of the best nos-conducting compositions I have seen and perfectly self-adhesivo.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) A. H. MACDONALD,
