Trout, King Iron Works, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir.—Yours of the 28th ulto. at hand, and in reply beg to state that the Composition Brass Wheel you made for me some time in February, 1890, for my steamer ‘‘S. Pizati,” has proven to be the finest piece of work I have ever seen, and has given me entire satisfaction. The same wheel has continually run on said steamer for the past six years, and it looks better to-day than when we got it, as it has a smoother surface, and it looks as though the wheel was good for twenty- five more years. We have nothing but the highest praise concerning same, both as to speed and quality, and should we require more wheels for any of our steamers, we will surely remember you. Very truly yours, S. Oteri, Owner S. Oteri Pioneer, Central American Steamship Co., New Orleans, Feb. 1, 1897. oe
