Sir
Some repairs have been lately done to our Parish Church and of course the new stone is very dissimilar in appearance to the old: having heard that you have invented a preparation which has been used with great effect on your own residence, Lacock Abey, I th take the liberty of asking if you will kindly inform me the nature of the composition
I have the honor to be Your very Obt Servt
John N Ladd
Churchwarden.
