New Bedford, Mass., June 24th, 1887.
Gentlemen:—The Metallic Shingles, which were put on by you on the roof of the New Bristol County Jail and House of Correction at this place, are entirely satisfactory in every respect, the manner in which the plates are rolled overcoming all objections to the expansion and contraction of the metal. Those that were put on here were of hard rolled copper, and have now turned a beautiful bronze color, and is very much admired by all who have seen it. The roof cannot but be an extremely desirable roof, and I do not see that it can need repairs of any kind for years to come.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT H. SLACK, Architect.
