play the jewell I wish my article to be
published entire. Were it not for the indu,
ence which these articles may exert, where
the character Of the author of them and The
facts are not known, would treat them with

content myself with merely stating the facts
in NV own case, and leave it fer caDd1
world to judge.
Believing the Silk business to be prcGa
BILE. and also beneficial to. the Nation, COM
menced it in connection with my brother,
with the intention of remaining in II bata
short time-suficient only to get money IL
| nav the expenses Of my education and 10
oct library. When l went TO purchase
trees, found those having Them WlIIIns@
let US have any amount We wished, AID
wait any time we should think proper; aud
/ also with the understanding that II We were
unsuccessful in our enterprise, heaV! &c,
duction was to be made on our Obligation
In consequence Of the facilities aIvrltJ Os

4 larger number than we at first aR'lc'IaEc
, | this enhanced our expenses. The lore Fa6I
- Of the season was very dry and uniuYoio2e
]. to the growth Of our trees we lost tna2E
:, thousands, and made but little silk. I@I
y failure in onr first attempt, caused Ma1[
u individuals TO whom we were owing S"31a
lie sums, to feel uneasy; our enemies II i2

that these silk men," as we were c1IG
