From The Rev. J. Gwynne Hughes, F.M.S., &c.
Maldon,
August 30th, 1880.
My Dear Sir,—All my friends are greatly pleased with the 10 in. reflector you have made me—with its general appearance and superior workmanship.
The wheel at the foot adds very much to its portability. Tho form of its stand is the best I have seen, giving a complete sweep without any fresh adjustment. The cell bearing the reflector drops into its place without any difficulty, even in the dark. The trials I have made of the instrument have revealed a clearness and sharpness of definition far superior to anything of the kind I had seen before.
I am indebted to you for a source of boundless scientific interest at very moderate expense. With best wishes,
I remain, dear Sir,
Yours sincerely,
(Signed.)
