RE THERMOSTAT.

Regarding the thermostat and the slight want of fool-proofness in making the water connections, I certainly think it will be advisable for us to adopt the india rubber water joint [handwritten: hose type] instead of the union connection between the thermostat tower and the other water pipes leading up to it.
