We are, my dear Sir,
Yours, very truly,

Marine Brewery, Ratcliffe, 9th Jan. 1844.

Dear Sir,—In reply to yours of the 4th instant, we beg to say that we are most decidedly of opinion that changes of yeast are quite unnecessary; in fact, we never have them except we are obliged, which only happens after we have been stopping for repairs.

We feel indebted to you for the compliment you pay to our beers, which we trust will continue to deserve the approbation of a brewer so well calculated to express an opinion.

Wishing you every success in the publication of the Third Edition of your valuable work, of which be pleased to send us a copy when published,

We are, dear Sir, yours very truly,
J. and W. S. Holt.

Wm. Black, Esq.,
