" Dear Sir,— Seeing that you are in Auckland, I write to say that neai'ly five years ago I sent to Liverpool for one of your English Silver Levers as advertised for £3 15s. I dnly received the watch, and my son (William Thorbnm) lias carried it every day since then at his work, mining, bush { work, riding, &c, and it has never cost him one j penny for repahrs. The watch is a splendid time- \ keeper, and would cost in Auckland at least Ten i Guineas. My son could have sold the watch a • score of tini"s, for double the price that it cost him, but would not part with it on any account. I may also say that I know several here who have sent for your watches, aud they have given the greatest satisfaction. You are at perfect liberty to publish this if you wish, as I am well known here.
