TAA i.3.14.16

with iron pyrites I got all the copper out

and much of the silver, By a second fusion

I got a large bead of gold of almost exactly

the composition of the sequins but I did not

get a good clear red colour on heating it after

beating it out flat.

     The results of the analysis of these two samples

are:-  1^st fusion            2^nd fusion        sequin

Gold     88.6                   97.77             96.37

Silver      9.5                     1.41               2.77

Iron        0.1                     0.82                 .85

             98.2                  100.00            99.99

no copper in any of them after the first fusion with

the pyrites.

Are you in London at present and if so, how 

long are you going to be here?

         Kindest regards from us both, 

                               yours very truly,
