June 26th, 1899.
Mess Eimer & Amend,
205 Third Ave.,
New York City.
Dear Sirs-
On the furnace I purchased from you a short time ago, I have the following to report-
After having had it under two heats, neither of which heated the muffle hot enough, we find the back muffle support has burned off. The front muffle support is partly turned off. The front plate of furnace cracked in two places. No protection to front of furnace plate above the fire door, so the plate heats red hot. The rubbing plate and rubber both have too uneven surfaces for grinding fine. Plunger of cupel mould does not fit its ring. Scale pans are of unequal weight.
We are unable to use the furnace, and our work will be seriously delayed, and we beg to ask that you take this matter up at once so that we may go ahead with the work at the earliest possible moment. We think you had better send one of your men out to see just what is necessary to be done.
Yours very truly,
