existing damper gear is quite inefficient, and entirely new gear is necessary, which should be not only that part tinted red in the sun print furnished by Messrs. Chance Brothers but also the connections therewith partly shown in white which at present do not exist.

Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Henry Arthur
Governor, &c.
