II. FAsSMAN, Orleans Cotton Press:
srR I'm January last I received from your Press
1859 bales of cotton of which about 1000 bales were
compressed and bound with your new Iron Tie, -
can safely affirm that the cotton so bound was re-
ceived in better order than II generally comes from
the Presses that it slowed better, and enabled the
ship to carry more than on any previous voyage.
The cotton when discharged frcm the ship In Liver
pool was in better order than the ropebOund cotton
II is highly preferable for ground tier, as the damp
arising from the ballast hrs effect upon II, for 1t is
well known by practical men that dampness will rot
the Rope.bouhd. I can confidently recommend your
"Iron Te," as took this lot for experiment and
carefully watched It both in loadingand dischargng.
am, Sir, yours Respectfully.
