My Dear Bowker:-
In reply to your favor of the 24th inst, I beg to state that of course I want all the criticism possible.
With new water[?] you leave the months reading standing until the next month after reading the customer can see what his bill is. If by any [illegible] the mercury should go in the check bottle it can be refilled and placed in a tube and read off directly.
The last beam meters were constructed with mercury electrodes, but you have [illegible] with meters with mechanism can ever be made so [illegible] as those without. Verification is absolute in the meter I now [illegible]. I also have an [illegible] meter which instead of showing a mercury column shown reading on a six inch [illegible] you have mechanism.
Yours very truly
