"I am very pleased to be able to inform you that your damp proof wall paint has stood the damp season very well, although applied to a portion of walling, the exterior face of which is very exposed to driving rain,

Interior paint or colourwash on this portion of walling has always become very damp and fallen off In. the rainy season. Your paint has, however, so far remained through the present rainy season without showing any signs of damp or falling off."
