Dear Sir purchased three 81 of NANNY Rea-
pers from you, and you wish my opinion in relation
to them. They perform admirably, and for simp!i-
city, lightness of draft and execution, prefer them
to any | have ever seen operate. l like them ~
much, if not more, for the cutting Of Hay.
Yours, very truly,
CHARLorrEsvrLLE, Va, April 18th, 1859.
D. G. MEADE.-Dear Sir FL used the Nanny
Combined Reaper and Mower, with Woods I'm
proyement, that you sent me last harvest, ana |
am glad to say that l worked it through my whole
harvest, not only to my own entire sdtiydct,"", hut
to the delight Of my overseer. Indeed, do not
think | could have gotten through my harvest,
without serious loss, had il not been for the Reaper.
1t worked admirably with two horses, and my
overseer raked the entire harvest.
/ consider it a great labor saving Machine, and
would not be without it on any account. | can,
with confidence, recommend it to farmers generally.
Yours, respectfully,

have sent you the money for the Reaper sooner,

Let Inc say to you, that II more than answers my
expectation in its operations, and | think ITS dura-
biity will be fair, &c.

I am Just finishing my harvest to-day. after a
severe struggle OF II fortnight. The Reaper was
