have no hesitation in expressing entire confidence in
their ability to resist the most intense heat and to pre-
serve from fire whatever is contained i'm them The
Chest, which is now at the Office of Mr. John O Law
was exposed TO the most scrutiny and remained
Tor length of time in the flames after it had become rad
hot The Papers, Bank Notes. and other contents were
all taken out uninjured by fire. and but partially
