Letter from Dr.. Jacksonl
BOSTON, Mass, January Is 1870
. Gentemeu-I have tested n sample of your Arti
neral Stone, made OF your cement and quartz sand
and find hat the frost test Saturated solution
Suiphste of Sods) has not the power of disnteyra
ting it in the least The trial was made by dali, in,
Ia ion for a week, and allowing the solution to pens
trate the slone as much as possible, and then%tc
crystalline. From this test il is evident that you
stone will withstand the action of frost more per
fectly than any ,andstone or ordir airy buliins
sto mes now in use I see no reason why it will not
stand "a well as granite.
Yours. respectfully
