| Dear Sirs, | ||
| Some five or six years ago I received some papers on applying gas in houses and chapels etc | ||
| where there was no Gas Works by Generators with I believe Gasoline & Water. | ||
| I Have been looking for same but cannot find them, would you kindly send me circulars for the | ||
| same as I am thinking of putting same in my house & shop as a test & for inspection with a view | ||
| of taking up an agency for you in this neighbourhood. As I am a mechanic I think I could fix same | ||
| myself and be the means of pushing your generator & doing myself a little good as well at the | ||
| same time. | ||
| I believe you sent me before a table showing the cost of various lights - say paraffin, coal gas, | ||
| [colbay], [spern], candles etc. | ||
| Please reply and give me full particulars, prices and commission to act as your agent & oblige. | ||
| Yours Truly | ||
| Nicholas Preston | ||
