Dear Sr:-I received your letter asking my opinion
of the Reaper purchased of you. My antcipalons
were fully realised; it worked most beautifully and
efficiently on smooth surface, cutting every straw;
drawn by pair Of horses in rapid walk, with great
ease. II also facilitates the binding by throwing from
Jour TO five sheaves together. My machine would not
cut very thin low wheat well but that being de.
scription of wheat that no farmer wishes make and
that good farmer should make, do not regard as
objection to the machine.
Respectfully yours, F. M. CABELL.

Dear Sir: I have used your Reaping Machine in
cutting part of my wheat the past harvest and can
truly say that it afforded entire satisfaction; cutting it
speeder and cleaner than any other instrument have
used for the purpose, making no difference
in cutting thin very rank wheat, but taking of
every thug before it. Owing to my wheat rpenng
regularly and large proportion OF being slumpy
ground, did not than 40 or so with the
"Reaper." | have doubt, that IN cutting that guam
tg have cleared half the price Of the machine the
saving of grain time and labor. When the merits of
your machine are fully known, have no doubt,
that every farmer who raises 70 Of wheat IF his
ground be sultabl--it will not do we'll on stumpy
pround,) will supply himself with one. ] hope your
reward will be equal its merits Indeed, the man
whose genius has enabled him to invent machine so

operation is entitled take rank with the inventors
