My dear Carter,

 

          I ought to have written to you

a few days ago to let you know that Plenderleith

is in Germany at present. I expect him back 

in a week or so as he left on the 26th or 27th July 

for 3 weeks. We have been unable to find any

notes which could be sent on to you about the

specimens and the copper tongue. He will let you

have them as soon as he returns. I hope this has

not inconvenienced you much.

          This very hot weather has prevented me

from doing much furnace work of any kind

as you may well imagine. However by simply

fusing a sample of gold containing both

copper and a high percentage of silver
