Nu Orleens, October the 1st, 1869.
Deer Sur At the openin ov the biz
ness season. L don't think hits fur from
out er the way fer to send you Price
Current an my keered. Uvry body else
il g doin NV it, an my circular liz az good
az emmy body else's fur emmy purposes you
ken put it to.
Hit is q valerable docyment THAT is, the
printed part with the fggers,) an orter be
put away keerfully. Eff it tells you more'n
you wanter know hitl keep ontwell you
change ure mind.
l don't charge you nuthin fer hit, altho
it's got up holy regardless, ez they say, an
is az good az a almanac fer TO have in the
house.
/ reckon you kin bleeve all hit says.
Most everybody swallers it on trust an
files hit away evry year ''fer reference"
an that boys grows up an uses 'em princi-
pally for cigar ites al SIGH.
Hits my bounding duty to tell you wat
l think bout cotton an craps.
From my large an tremendous CORES
pondence cOmprisin' the variability of all
the ramifcations an postal arrangements
consekent upon IuxtapositiOn swith an in
telligent planter i'll every county whar d
lock of cotton grows l kin konfdently
swar thar won't be the cotton made this
year that thar was in sixty-one, and the
crapl be ahort.
That's SO, an if hit amt, mebbe hits Jest
eZ vel to talk so emmy how.
Bes time to sell, is jest ez soon ez you
kin get yer crap intar my hands, regard
less of the price of trade-don't STAN on
extry expense, but hurry hit forward.
hev my private reasons for adVisin' 80,
an besides these English fellers begin ter
think the worms and cholery and the
freedmen's buro hez out down the crap to
bout q million bales shore enuf1.

down in the back swamps and out on the
aig Of nowhar, will find an extry half q
million balls, shore, an then away goes
prices. Then my correspondence in Egypt,
Arabian Fetrea, an other various pints in
India, writes me the cotton thar is power
full promising for big crap.
! Them fellers is got us on the cotton
question, lessen we can git branch of the
freedmen's buro started in their secshun.
Hits rll our salvashun at this stage of the
game, and the only way to choke them of
aud spile thar competition.
Sen down yer cotton fust thing arter hits
ginned and bailed.
A long experience in the bizness tells
me hits a pore way of sellin q plantation
sending it down by retail mixed up in the
cotton lint. The cotton somehow sells
better without the sand and dust, but thars
no disputing the heft of the sand.
Your order for supplies shall have my
personal attention. If hits jest as conve
nient, hit wouldn't be remiss to send the
cash along with em; mebbe you'd git at
the goods leetle mite quicker that a way.
These traders here gin me and half per
cent and extraOs on what l Duy-which is
kind of them, and no money lost you;
but they mostly wants thar money fore the
ink drys on the bill.
The talk is that some OF these chaps in
the commission line amt going ter last
long. Worms an the freedmen's buro is
things some 'em's deeper interested In
than commissions on sails, en- hit makes
folks in the trading line pertickler. The
banks don't keer, but they kin stand it.
Be keerful you SEN yer cotton 2. Eff
you wanter make a dead shore thing OF it
and fer get the biggest dollar hit will
fetch an not sacrificed on the fust offer,
send it 2 me. I'm the tardireBt man you
ever seed, sharp as Il briar and keen as q
nuter gender mink. Having an immense
capital unbounding credit, long expert
ence, big oflic, abel correspondence in
all the cities of the world, a private under
standing with the man az runs the tele-
graph to Europe, and boarding in the
same house with q cotton broker clerk, I
ken give you all the satisfaction you want.
Ez I spekilate in cotton, planters craps
will hav CRATE advantage in being sold
long O my cotton, perticler as l never loss
money on these side trades. My young
/ keeps "average account" which he says
keeps the different intrusts strait an kivers
emmy differences in clas in list of cotton.
My Confederith frens is invited stand
8 up 2 me. ] fit, fit, bled-and had the
8 measles in the ''Lost Cause" along with
them, and my wife tells me she thinks
them measles done me a great power OF
injury fer life.
New comers is requested to remember

I harmonized.
q shall mako it my intrust do your
bizness for you. Eff you don't bleeve it
try me.
