Colonel ". c. Knight, President:
Dear Sr,-l spent a very pleasant time at
your fair last fall. / now write to give you
a SPECIAL Invitation to be with us the 18th OF
October next.
Richmond is largely p1tronizsd by North
Carolina in every branch Of trade. and
think it would be well for her citizens, man
urac,urers, merchants, &C., to visit our fair
and mpgle with our people, and exhibit spe-
cmcns of their work. | have no doubt II
would be profitable to all.
If you have the time, and it Is not asking
too much a. your hands, would take it as
an especial favor if you would see your en-
ginc.builGers, manufacturers of implements,
&C., and induce them TO exhibit. Our pros
poets are very fine. The indications are we
y i'll have better fair than was ever held in
the Slate. Our farmers are becoming inte-
rested IN agricultural machinery.
With the best wishes for the prosperity OF
your fair, | remain yours, very truly,
