My dear Mr. Raports

I wish to thank you for your kind order, and I am
pleased to advise you that this has already been shipped
yous We have received a request from Mr. Forrest Allen
regarding the masks which you mention in your letter.

I suggested to Mr. Allen, the #40 mask with metal finish
as being a more suitable mask for classroom instruction. We
have found in some instances that the black enamel chips and
peels from the masks after they have been in classroom use
for several months. To owrcome this; we have dipped the mesh
in hot tin baths to prevent rust and to overcome the objection
of this chipping.

We are still working on a black enamel which will not
chip and hope in the near future to have a satisfactory sole
ution to this problem.

Very truly yours
