\30 CHEAP AND DURABLE STUCCO. 



intimating to me, when I hud the pleasure of seeing you in 

 Dorsetshire, that storfe lime was likely to answer; but it 

 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 mile 

 hence, would be only 105., whereas about the same quan- 

 tity of chalk lime at the kiln, full eight miles from hence, 

 would cost 1/. 4s., and I cannot get any chalk-lime nearer, 

 I have only now to add, that I am, very respectfully, 

 Sir, 



Your obedient humble servant, 



Bridport Harbour, H. B. WAY. 



April 22d 1811.
