baukruDtCV to examine il:
In conformity with your desire that should
visit MagilPs plantation, IN the parish of st. Mar
tin and examine carefully the condition of that
property and report to you the result of my
searches now state that have cOnscientiously
inspected the improvements and md them 10 bs
very extensive and very substantial and although
they have been very much neglected, could re-
cover all their efficiency By repairs a great deal
less expensive than would have supposed on
reading the report that found IN possession Of
the bank. All the buildings having primitively
been built with such superior materials that time
has produced comparatively very little decay,
even on the external parts of the buildings-f0r
instance, the roofs can, with very little expense,
be made perfectly tight and Dy repairing and, in
out galleries of the sugarhOUse and stables which
are both really splendid constructions, these build
ings wOuld be secured for a long time against any
successful degradations. The engines and mill are
powerful and complete. Those parts that could
have been taken away or affected by exposure
have been carefully packed up aud are
lying in a safe part of the engine room.
In d short time ngineer could clean and put
the whole in running order The sugarhOuse is
immense and completely built of bricks and the
roof like those of all other buildings, is covered
with shingles The interior of the sugarhouse
contains IS substantial sound coolers three of
which were eIt to nelghbor, Dir. Durand).
There is fine car, in very good order, to carry
sugar from end of the sug 4rhOuse to the other
end mounted on a 1ail-the whole substantial and
in good order. The moiasses cisterns all of
bricks and cement, and can accommodate 400
hOgsheads of sugar The Clsterns are covered
with well seasoned spars. The two sets of kettles
are well set and in very fine ORDER and ready for
operations. 1t is through large and valuable
copper pipe that extends from the sugarhOuse to
the bayou, which is situated about thirty yards
from the engine. that all the water required fOT
smgarhOuse there are six large cisterns. in which
all the rain water is gathered.
There are Is negro cabns-5 built of brick and
: of wOOd-all requiring some repairs, especially
to the roofs. AT small! expense they can be
made available.
There are two houses on the place. wi h their
outbuildings. One of them is new, comfortable
One-stOry building with attic, containing six
rooms, all with ireplsces. Ii IS built of brick,
and is wei finished. The pasteg has suffered
from the roofs requiring repairs. hundred
shingles would maxi it tight. The other building
is old, but yet good. The lands are high, and of
the very best quality, and are reported all over
the country requiring less labor than any other
and producing more. There is sufficient timber
on the place to last fifty years.
Such, gentlemen, are the facts concerning that
valuable property, and may, without tear of
property offered tor sale in the state, there is
offering u better chance of investment.
