GENTLEMEN, I have tried your oil, or mixture for softening leather, and rendering 

 it waterproof. With both harness and boots its effect has been most successful. I 

 tried it on a pair of boots I had in the Crimea, and which had become, from want of 

 use and old age, more like as if they were made of "iron" than of leather. They 

 are now soft and pliable, and could be worn with comfort. My coachman states the 

 effect on the harness and on bridles is most beneficial. I have recommended it 

 should be tried in the Government stores. ARTHUR HERBERT, Colonel.

GENTLEMEN, I have given the sample of Dubbing which you were kind enough 

 to send on the 19th of February, a fair trial on Boots, Saddlery, and Harness, and 

 find it quite equal to your expectations. It makes all kinds of Leather beautifully 

 soft and flexible, and prevents it from cracking. In short, by an application or two, 

 old straps that have been lying past become like new. I have no hesitation in saying 

 I have not before seen an article of the kind which seems so fitted for its purpose, or 

 so likely to give general satisfaction. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your 

 obedient servant, D. REID, Captain, Adjutant 1st Depot Battalion, 



Chatham, 27th March, 1870.
