Dear Sirs, We beg to thank you for your letter of the 22nd inst., and note that the trouble experienced in France was located to the joint at the top of the glass tube. We are very sorry to hear that the second instrument which we sent has also developed trouble in identically the same place. We are particularly desirous of getting hold of these two instruments to carefully examine them, as this might lead us to some valuable information with regard to the location of the trouble.
