Whilst it is highly creditable to occupy this en-

manufacturer and chemist, whilst the extent and
completeness of your works enables you to guar
antee uniformity in their continuous preparation

Dear Sir 1t affords me very great pleasure
to bear testimony to your very superior quaifca-
an chpmSf nd
to your unblemished honesty and integrity a
man.
My opportunities for full knowledge as to each
OF these particulars have been OF tint most favor
able character, based as they have been on an
Intimate acquaintance with you for nearly twen-
ty years which time have had many business
and professional relations with you, especially in
the manufacture of "Fertlzers' IN general and
also of special manures.
l know that you have awaited yourself of all
the scientific aid possible at your command, and
have left no means untried to perfect yourself in
the practice and science of your profession. In
my official position it has been my duty frequent
ly to examine the products of your manufacture,
and have never found any occasion to doubt your
honesty or skill. Whilst manufacturing large
quantities of manures for me at different times,
have been satisfied not only of the most scru-
pulous fair deating on your part but also of the
great care and skill which you exercised in their
manufacture. With opportunities for knowledge
equal if not superior, to any one else IN the State
do not hesitate to say that would rather trust
to your combination of skill and integrity than
to that of any one who has ever been engaged in
the manufacture of manures in this State l
tender this statement as act of justice to you,
and hope that you will make whatever use of it
that may best promote your interests
Very truly yours,
