II. Fassmdnn, Esq, Orleans Cotton Press
SIN. In January last received from your Press 1883
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 were recon
pressed and bound with your new Iron Tie
can safely affirm that the cotton bound was re
cevcd In better order than 1t generally comes from
the Presses that It slowed better, and enabled the
ship to carry more than on any previous voyage
Tho cotton whom discharged from the ship IN
Liverpool was in better order than the rope bound
cotton. 1t s highly preferable for ground tier as
dampness from the ballast has effect upon IT, for
Il Ia well known by practical men that dampuoss will
rot tho rope bound. | can confidently recommend
your Iron Tie IA took this lot for an experiment
and carefully watched it both In loading and dis
| am Sir Yours Respectfully,
