Longmpnt. Colorado, April 4, 1928.

Mr.

s.

J. Osborn, General Chemist, Denver, Colorado. Dear Sir,

I am sending you herewith a copy ot our analysis of water sanples saved during 1927-28 campaign. You will note our boiler feed, press wash and battery supply samples were contaminated with sulphuric acid.

Evidently some one failed to follow instruc-tions an:l saved some samples taken in our regular condensed

water tubes, instead of using the special tubes and rack which is provided for this purpose. In the future I will

have one Assistant take these samples personaly and there will be no alibis thru divided responsibility.

Yours very truly,

\...:__
