ToMessrs. Proctor and Brown
.Gentlemen,
I beg to forward herewith copy of report upon the Oamaru and Kakanui Stone made to the Provincial Government of Otago in 1871, by Mr. J. T. Thomson and myself. You will observe that it deals with that material as used in many architectural and engineering works in this Province, and that it speaks to the favourable qualities of the stone as shown in these. Mr. Thomson is now on his way to Europe, so I have no opportunity of asking him if he sees any reason to change his opinion from that therein stated; but I can say, for myself, that I have no desire to alter one word of it.
I am, yours truly,
George M. Barr,
C.E.
