II, Lancelots Hey. Chapel-Street, Liver
pool, March 3lst, 1873. SIR,-In your wide
ly- circulating paper of the 22nd ult. | no.
ticed letter dated from Fayette, Missis-
ippi from a Native of LeamingtoE," in
which he implies that / am sending persons
out under delusion." l may add the de-
fusion implied iscertainly to the emigrant's
advantage, as L do not even state the wages
given, nor paint the prospects glowing
as your correspondent found them upon
ARRIVAL proof, think, of the honesty and
sincerity OF may mission. To the subject of
the letter: | enclose circular, which. as
you will see, is intended as a reply to aDpli-
cants desrous of emigrating to America.
In this circular you will notice that / dis
tinctly state the rate OF wages, and add that
contracts are signed here for one years SER
vice, after which one third more wages
may be expected, which you will readily
see is but just to both employee and en-
plOyer-they becoming more efficient, con-
Sequently they are worth more. The OBJ
ject of my mission is this: We want plenty
of labOurers-both male and temale--in the
Southern States. We offer wages superior
TO what they are receiving in this country.
and further the means of getting to what
your CORES pOndent correctly saws. "A see
III II OF country where a poor man can soon
make a comfortable home and do we'll"
But were it not for the facilities | offer,
the poor laborer might rot in the country
of his birth before acquiring the means to
-
poor man can soon make a com Portable
home, and do WELL" And where, upon his
landing under my direction, good com
portable home awaits him, and every care
will be taken of him and his family. In no
other part of the world are the same oppOr-
tunities offered as in the Southern States
to the farm labOurers and domestic servants
OF Great Britain.-Your faithfully, GEO.
ToRREY. PSI may just add chat l am
resident. as well as a native, of Fayettc.
