Warrenton, Miss
Dear Sir
Enclosed we hand Sales of
12 Bales Cotton for your account $282.20 to your Cr
Annexed we hand over mornings P/c which contain in
addition to the ordinary news of our markets, the late
advices from England which are considered favourable.
They have however produced no impression
on our market, mainly on account of the scarcity
of money, but partly on account of high freights
& insurance. We cannot believe this condition of things
will long continue & we are consequently holding on to
your Brushy Bayou crop of which we have 125 bales.
When do you expect to come down?
Very Respy.
