DEAR SIR,

5.S. "PROPONTIS,”

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 State that It has given every satisfaction...

The Donkey Boller, which is on the upper deck and totally exposed to the weather, had a very severe test last trip, and wear 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 faithfally,
