Dear Sirs—l have tried all the lead pencils you forwarded to me,
and consi ,
der them the best I have ever had; indeed, it is impossible
Alstly to compare them with any others, as they possess qualities I
terLer Set found in pencils, amongst which I may name their beau-
tvt' transParency and clearness. I have not only made use of them
eel% but have had them tried by several students in this ins;ita-
-I.?n, and their excellence is acknowledged by my pupils. The double
