Dear Sir-Your favor Of the l2,h inst,
has been received. and with pleasure re-
ply to your inquiries respecting Mr.. Ril-
leaux's apparatus.
| Mr.. K. contracted 10 furnish me with
an apparatus for the fabrication of sugar
entirely by steam. That the quantity of
molasses should be reduced to the half of
that produced by the old process. That
1.-The sugar made from it should be equal TO
that produced from vacuum pan, with.
,outany refunding process. Thatit should
be capable of producing an average of
10000 lbs: of sugar within "a hours, and
the fuel consumed should be not more than
one-,hrd of the quantity used by the usual
method in open.ketlles.
lhave finished my crop, and made the
last 80 hhds with his apparatus, from a
piece ofmy poorest cane. The prodlc-;
lion of the sugar is improved a6outone-
halfin value over that produced from the
same cane in my set Of Kettles. am SAT-.
isied that with the apparatus Ishall make.
the next crop into white sugar, without
the use of moulds aud liquoring. Tie ap.
paraius made at the rate of $4,000 lbs. per
"a hours, and boiled as. much cane Juice
as my mill could furnish: and it is my
opinion that it can produce much greateiri
quantity in the sume period. q o.i' e
The apparatus is very easily managed,
and my negroes became acquainted with
itin short lime. To produce the above
quantity ofsusar, by the old process. /
should have employed myiiwo sets Of fkel-
ties boiling together. Ny sugar mill aud
the apparatus were driven al lhe Same
time by my engine. and am convinced
that the bagasse Of the previous year,
which generally forms about a third Of my
fuel, would have been sufficient 10 have
made my entire crop. 20 i73,i.Eat', ~
The machine is elegant in lis propor:
lions. solid in lis fixtures, and occupies
very small place in my sugar house. /
must confess that when | first contracted
with Mr.. R. ! did not imagine that the ap-
paratus would have been so complete
Every part is arranged with the greatest
care, and is very durable. 1t worked I
may say, without any accident, and is
ready for the mex, crop, as new and clean
as it was the first day. laccount as moth
ing lea,hern band, which was Temperate
5ly employed by MIR. r. to drive the apa-
ratus, instead ofa connecting rod, which
was then not ready.
] am happy TO add that l consider Mr..
Rilleaux as completely successful, and as
having satisfied every condition Of the
contract which he passed with me,
Ihad many opportunities of admiring
the ability and ingenuity fMr. r., and |
do not hesitate to declare that he is highly
deserving of credit, and in every respect
entitled TO the full confidence Of the sugar
planters of Louisiana. -. .3ls-
Very respectfully yours .5,.' -
