In 1836, James Booth started a student laboratory in Philadelphia where men could obtain practical training in chemistry - especially analytical chemistry - by personal instruction. With him were associated successively Martin H. Boyé (1812-1909), Thomas H. Garrett, and Andrew A. Blair. In 1878 the firm became Booth, Garrett & Blair. This letter from Thomas H. Garrett concerns local parsonage water analysis.
