My DEAR SIR,—In reply to your question respecting the
effect of your solution upon the sails and awnings of the vessels
of the Niger Expedition, the canvas of which was steeped in
it before they were made, I have much pleasure in being able
to state that they were most effectually preserved from mildew,
and this after as severe a trial as canvas could well undergo,
being alternately exposed, during several months, to heavy
rains and a burning sun, with the thermometer sometimes at
93 deg., and generally much above 80 deg.

Sir Wm. Burnett, K.C. H. •
Ramsgate, Dec. 20, 1841.
SIR,—I beg to acquaint you that, agreeably to your request,
I have examined the sails on board the Gull steam light vessel,
the which were prepared with Sir William Burnett's Patent So-
lution, and were put on board in September, 1840, since which
time they have been kept on the deck, and exposed to the
weather ; notwithstanding which, they are still in as good a
condition as when first put on board ; they are free from mil-
dew, and have no appearance of any decay whatever. Unpre•
pared sails under similar circumstances would have been in a
decayed state, and rendered quite unserviceable.
I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed). R. DAVIS.
Jacob Herbert, Esq., Secretary; Trinity Board.
