NEW BEDFORD, MASS., June 24th, 1887.
Gentlemen:—The Metallic Shingles, which were put on by you on
the roof of the New Bristol County Jail and House of Correction
at this place, are entirely satisfactory in every respect, the
manner in which the plates are rolled overcoming all objections
to the expansion and contraction of the metal. Those that were
put on here were of hard rolled copper, and have now turned a
beautiful bronze color, and is very much admired by all who
have seen it. The roof cannot but be an extremely desirable
roof, and I do not see that it can need repairs of any kind for
years to come.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT H. SLACK, Architect.
