SIR: In January last received from your Press 1889
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 were recon
pressed and bound with your Iron Tie"

ceived in better order than it generally from

ship to carry more than ON any previous voyage =,
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool was IN better order than the rope bound
cotton it is highly preferable for ground tier as
dampness from the ballast has effect upon it, for
it is well known by practical men that dampness will
rot tho rope bound confidently recommend
your Iron Tie" as took this lot for an experiment
and carefully watched it both in loading and dis
charging. a
I am SIR Yours Respectfully,
