With regard to the saving in fuel, I am unable to speak very accurately, as the boilers were not working long enough before being covered to ascertain the amount of fuel that would be consumed in an ordinary run, but I feel quite justified in saying that we burn ess by about scwt per night than we wcro doing, and I shall be glad at any time to show the boilers to anyone who may wish to see them, as I consider yours the best covering that I have, up to the present, seen.— Tours faithfully, (Signed) "J.
