I am sorry I cannot at present give further details for though an analysis has been made of the nut it is of course the property of the firm and whose account it was made. I will however, have pleasure in calling upon them to ask their perm, ission for its use in this particular case, and obtain whatever other information I can. Believe me Yours Faithfully John Augustus Voelcker | ||||
