9, Whitehall Place, LONDON, SW. September 26th 1904
Gentlemen, Reverting to your enquiry as to the condition of my launch Consuta after seven years' work, I have pleasure in stating that in my opinion the hull is as stiff and sound as the day she was launched, and except for painting and varnishing it has never been touched. Considering the work she had done umpiring and other work calculated to strain the boat, including a lot of work on the tideway and being repeatedly hauled in and out of the water at all times of the year, I consider the state of affairs most satisfactory. She has run some 10,000 miles during the time.
Yours faithfully, H.S. Clutton
