To the Editor Qf The Louisiana C0tt'R-b0H.
SIR Having a few leisure moments, |
thoupht [ could not devote them to a bet
ter purpose than by rcdceeling to some
extent, though at tbs late date, the
promise made your cstimahIc. Jealous
and energetic travelling agent, whose ac-
Guaiutancc | was so fortunate as to form,
to write a few communications for your
valuable and interesting journal. | fear,
however, and have many misgivings,
that | was rather rash and hasty in max
ll4 SlitIl iIOltllStSs as L dill NtLN tiillt it,
cuStomcd to write for the public press.
and hence proceed to uIfll my task with
great difidence as to my abilities to in
dito anything worthy your attention CT
interesting to your numerous readers.
Writing impromptu, ] must necessarily
crave your kind indulgence for the many
gIaring impcTfcCtioDs that characterize
this humble sCribbling. Farmers, you
! will recOllect, are not members of the
Academy of Sciences, and therefore much
latitude must be allowed them for thrir
DEFICIENCIES in moi Mt of composition. which
is at ali times with them a most lahorous
task. Should Won, however. think the
present production unworthy of pubIica-
cation n1leaso save me the mortitication
| Of wounded dignity and consipn it to the
