of brown paper, and had them packed in a box, with a ler 

 of sand between each piece, and at the bottom and tofof 

 the box, and directed it for you, and sent it with somcgcds 

 I shipped on Saturday last to my friend Netlam Giles, B]. 

 No. 2, New Inn, St.' Clement's. I have requested of fn 

 that he will have the goodness on its arrival to forward iio 

 you. The vessel it goes by is the sloop Mary Anne, Jai 

 Amiing, master, bound to Dounes Wharf, Hermitaj, 

 VVapping. It is possible that the pieces of stucco sent ny 

 imbibe some of the saline particles from the sand it vb 

 packed in, but this did not occur to me at the time, or ih' 

 should have been packed in saw-dust, as they were perfect 

 dry when packed, so much so as, when struck upon wii 

 the knuckle, to give a sound similar to what an earihi 

 vessel would do if dry and not cracked. Should there 1 

 any further information requisite, on your letting me knov 

 it shall immediately be sent you. It had almost escapt 

 roe to say, that the small quantity of six yards, done lai 

 October with stone lime for trial, was done from your in 

 timating to me, when I had the pleasure of seeing you i 

 Dorsetshire, that stone lime was likely to answer ; but i 

 would I think look better if white-washed; the difference 

 in point of expense is materially in favour of the stone lime 

 The cost of my waggon-load of it at the kiln, about a mih 

 from hence, would "be only lOs., whereas about the same 

 quantity of chalk-lime at the kiln, full tight miles from 

 hence, would cost l/. 4i-., and I cannot get any chalk-lime 

 nearer. I have onlv now to add that 1 am, very respect- 

 fully. 



Sir, 



Your obedient humble strva\if, 



Bridport Harbour, April 22, 1811. H. B. WaT. 



To C. Taylor^ M.D. Sec, 



Certijicate. 

 T hereby certify, that Mr. H. B. Way, merchant, of 

 Bridport Harbour, in the ccjuntv of Dorset, in the month 

 of March 1805, gave me the necessary directions fur making 

 a strong cheap stucco or plaster, which was composed of 

 one part chalk-lime, and three equal parts of fine sand, col- 

 lected on the sea shore, near Bridport Harbour, the whole 

 of which was mixed up to a proper consistence with a 

 strong lime water, and I have suice that time done the an- 

 nexed work with the said composition. 



Date.
