HEMP AGENCY ron KEsrvcky,

Louisville, June 8, lS45.
SIR: In former letter you were informed that
had got possession of the hemp apparatus for test
ing the strength of hemp. ! secured an eligible po-
sition for using it, and convenient office adjoining,
for the use of the agency for the sum of one hum
dred dollars per annum, to be paid quarterly.
Persons interested in hemp were anxious to wit
ness the operation of the machine. had four par
cells of hemp spun into bolt rope-No. l, American
water-rot,ed hempi No. 2, Riga Refine hemp, (these
two were taken from the boxes sent from Boston;)
No, 3, Rhodian hemp, (this is new article, broke
and cleaned without being rotted, either by water
dew After being thoroughly cleaned, it is put
into close, air-tght room, and thea heated by
steam until it is sufficiently cured. James Ander
son. who claims this discovery is of opinion that it
will answer every purpose that water-rotted hemp
willy and No. 4, common dew-rotted HEMP The
rope was not of uniform size: fro,a which fact, |
concluded to make second test trial. and send you
the statement. The editors of the city papers were
present, and number of intelligent gentlemen.
The enclosed printed paper is the account Of this
trial.
AT Lexington had an interview with Mr., Ham
ion, my predecessor. He said he had eored his
accounts with the department; that he had no
money belonging to the governments; that he had
kept no book Of his transactions as agent. He
handed me letters and copies of instructions
that he had received, and gave me the following list
Of articles belonging to the United States GOVERN
ment, purchased for the use of the hemp agency at
Lexington, viz:
One hemp press, Warmers patent, cost $50.
One hache
One desk.
A box Of samples ofhemp, &c
The hatchel and box Of sample hemp have di-
rected to be sent 10 Louisville and ordered sale Of
the desk.
The press is the one most approved by shippers
of hemp. 1t can be sold for nearly cost or retained
for use, should il be thought, hereafter advisable
to purchase hemp in Kentucky.
! have visited the hemp district of most import
ance in Kentucky-the counties of Franklin,
Woodford, Scott, Fayette, and Bourbon; had free
conversation with many growers of hemp, gentle
men Of intelligence and liberal views. | am or
opinion that contracts could be made for the grow
ing crop, to be water-rotted, from three to five hun
dred tons, to be delivered at Louisville, Of quality
equal to any purchased by the government, at one
hundred and fifty dollars per ton.
The counties of Mason and Fleming, in this State
produce large quantities Of hemp. The shipping
point for these is Maysville. think OF visiting
them next month
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
