Stucco for iJLN consequence of your expressing an opinion, that a 

 houses ex- general knowledge of my method of preparing a stucco, 

 posed to bad & ° . ,,..-', • , 



weather. ° r plaster, tor outside walls or houses much exposed to sea 



breezes or bad weather, would be of service to the public, i 

 1 have enclosed an account of the process; and 1 will with 

 pleasure furnish any farther particulars of this business for 

 the Society of Arts, or permit any gentleman to examine it, 

 who may wish for more information on the subject. You 

 know the situation of my house, which is greatly exposed to 

 the spray of the sea and bad weather; and I can truly add, 

 that by means of this stucco it is perfectly free from damp, 

 and the plaster remains compact and durable. 



. I remain, Sir, 



Your obedient humble servant.
