We here subjoin an extract from a letter received from him, dated the 8th of July, 1839:—

“ “I feel much obliged by the compliment you intend passing on the construction of my brewery in your coming publication, and shall be much pleased if I can in any way beneﬁt you by proving the success of your method of fermentation, from which I have never varied. With the exception of the small quantity of yeast you brought about eighteen months ago from London, I have had no change since the first commencement here, 9th March, 1836. I am to-day brewing from the same store, and my gyle-tuns work entirely to my satisfaction. With the exception of a chance cask or two, not being sweet, I have not had a single cask returned for any fault the last two years. (Signed)
