Letter

DUCKWORTH, Second Officer Steamship Gaelic to Mes, March 23, 1875

Gentlemen: I have carefully perused your memorandum as to the new regulations suggested by the board of trade regarding fog-signals, and I must humbly beg to agree with them, having seen them working very well on board the river steamers in New York. There has long been a want of system, and in my humble opinion the proposed rules will be of great service.

I am, &c.,

JAS. DUCKWORTH,
Second Officer Steamship Gaelic.

Messrs. Ismay, Imrie & Co.
