Messrs. Artesian Well & supply Co.,
Providence, R. I.
Gentlemen:
We have your valued letter of July 21st.
Your reply was so long delayed that we have taken up
the matter of pumping this well with several other
parties, and while we have as yet no tangible in-
formation from them, would say that your proposition
contained in this letter of July 21st. looks very
good to us.
You quote a 8 X 8 Compressor at $395 and
an air tank at $55, we to furnish all necessary piping.
Also note that you say a 4" pipe would be sufficient
in diameter to properly do the work. Do you realize
that this well undoubtedly has a yield of 150 gallons
per minute with your 6" deep well pump working only 55
ft. below the ground level, and that it is the opinion
of your Mr. Grant that if the deep well pump had been
working at 130 to 150 ft. below the ground level that
the well would give a steady yield of 200 gallons per
minute or over. Therefore we would like to know from you
if the equipment, which you recommend as above would be
adequate to deliver 150 gallons per minute and even 200
gallons per minute if the supply is there. If you will
kindly go on record in reply to these inquiries, letting
us hear from you by return mail, we will be pleased to
give the matter further and careful consideration.
We were very greatly pleased with the manner in
which your two men performed this work, attending strictly
and constantly to their business in a very efficient manner,
and only wish that we could fill up a knitting mill with 600
people who would work as hard and fast as these two men of
yours have done on this job. Could we do so there would be
a far greater profit in the manufacture of underwear.
Yours very truly,
Wright's Health Underwear Co.
