" J. Augustus Voelcker." 
And Dr. Voelcker wrote : — * 
" February 23rd, 1885. 
" Dear Sir, — Of the three cakes, No. 1 is decidedly the best. It is the 
highest in oil and in albuminous comiwunds, and although not as pure as it 
should be, it is in this respect far sujierior to the other two, both of which 
contain starchy impurities and foreign seeds in large quantity; they are also 
low in oil and in albuminous bodies, especially No. 3.- — -Yours faithfully, 
" W. Wood, Esq. J. Augustus Voelcker." 
Mr. Wood, in reply to further enquiries, wrote : — 
" Habrougb, Ulceby, Lincolnshire, February 28th, 1885. 
" Dear Sir, — In answer to your letter about the linseed-cake, I have 
settled the matter with the makers to my satisfaction, and as they are 
personal friends of mine, I do not wish to expose them. — I am, yours truly, 
" W. Wood."
