How for the means are calculated to attain it, I want date
to
enable me to judge. The thought, I suppose, is new, since it struck
you as such. But I do not know enough of the subject, to know the
difference between the management he proposes and the common one.
The Timber at present, when there is enough of it, is kept, or meant
to be kept I suppose a certain time before it worked up into
the Skeleton. The Skeleton itself is purposely left in that state, for
a certain time. The Timber in the inside of houses lasts undecayed for ages.
but then it is protected from the weather not only at the time of building (perhaps
not at all at the time of building, but ever afterwards after the
house is covered in. It is the necessary condition of to
be exposed to the weather. While it is in use and when
once wetted how it can be thoroughly p[urged of
has i8ncaccessible a great part of it is to the free influence
of the Sun and Air, is what I do not rightly understand.
It is a misfortune attending all these projects of
against the attacks of time, there is no making any any
propose. The dates are to be obtained only by accidental
or such experiments as may have been made for kindred purposes
circumstances more or less similar as it may
remarks you will observe conclude not to the
the Scheme, but my own
to judge of it. I am very glad to learn
from you, that it begins to meet with favourable attention.
A great aprt of this has been written in the dark, or by pre-light
so that if you are able to read it you have good luck
Adieu my Dear Sam, I shall; send away what I have
scrawled, without waiting to take notice of any other of the parts
and your 3 last letters Chesterfield — the stick
will be indisputable use to you, and now and then the sentiments.
