As supplied to the Fellows of the Royal Geographical Society.
^ “ December 3, 1895.
“Dear Sir,
“ After four years in East Central Africa, I have
no hesitation in saying that, as far as my experience
and observation go, your tents are the best that can
be procured.
“I have seen other tents, when almost new, tom to
pieces after a tro P io 8torm > or giving way after one
rainy season, while one of your double-roof tents
which I used constantly for two years in Central
Africa, is still as strong and sound as ever.
“ Yours faithfully,
“R. U. MOFFAT, M.B.,
