Manila, October 16, 1916. 



Please accept thanks for yours of October 12th, with copy of your letter 

 of the same date to S. B. Penick & Co., New York City, which we feel 

 confident will produce results, if the firm in question is actually interested 

 in the importation of botanical drugs from this market, which we have 

 every reason to believe is the case. 

 Yours very truly, ' 



San Juan dejl Monte, October 11, 1916, 



Some weeks ago, as you know, we were having trouble with our water 

 after it was put into the demijohns, and we came to the conclusion that 

 something was wrong with our system of sterilizing the demijohns, for 

 our tests of water taken directly from the pipes connected with the well 

 showed that the water from the well was absolutely pure and sterile. 



I then, as you know, came to see you to get your assistance in devising 

 some scheme of sterilization that would be effectual, and I am pleased to 

 state that the system developed for us by the Bureau of Science is now in 

 successful operation, making it possible for us to deliver water that comes 

 away within the safety limits, and, as is shown by the various severe tests 

 that have been made, so long as we do not fail to put each and every 

 demijohn through the system properly, we are sure that the water taken 

 from any demijohn we deliver will show safe. 



For this highly desirable, and in fact, absolutely essential result, I feel 

 that this company and the public it serves should extend to you and your 

 assistants their sincere thanks. 



Please accept this letter as expressing the gratitude of this company, and 

 I am sure that when the public realize what has been done for them, you 

 will have their thanks as well. 

 Very sincerely yours, 



Cleveland, Ohio, September 29, 1916.
