Dear Sir,
In accordance with your request I have`made an analysis of a clean sample of your Blue Asbestos said to be from your mineral leases in Wittenoom Gorge ,Hamersley Ranges, North West Australia.
The results obtained are: Lab. No-. 4857/38.

The analysis proves that your asbestos is typical Crocidolite, known commercially as Blue Asbestos. It is identical in nature with the blue asbestos mined in Cape Province of South Africa, and sold throughout the world for various industrial purposes.
Your sample is made up of very fine, soft, flexible and tough fibres, which are easily separated from one another. They are of excellent quality for manufacturing purposes.
Yours faithfully,
.(Signed)
