BELL'S ASBESTOS EASTERN AGENCY.

With regard to the composition applied by you to the Bollers and Steam Pipes of this Steamer, I beg to Stats that it has given every satisfaction.

The Donkey Boller, which is on the upper deck and totally exposed to the wostkar, had a very severe test last trip, and scan 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 non-conducting compositions I have seen and perfectly self-adhesive.

Yours faithfully,

(Signed) A. H. MACDONALD,
