ERIN PLANTATION, CARROLL PARISH, La,
September Is, 1876.
Messrs. G. w. Sentell & Co.:
Dear Sirs-We are in the midst of heavy
wind and rain storm, that began on the 18th,
and torrents Of rain have fallen. 1t is gen.
eral and must have already done immense
damage to cotton.
I went ashore atseveral places below Grand
Gulf to see the crop; from the boat it looked
magnificent Mr.. Alcus, who was on board,
thought it very 6ne-weed six feet high. |
found, on getting in it, literally no top crop,
every single square, bloom and boil shed, and
only moderate middle and bottom crop, and
it had stopped making. From the weed it
ought to have made one and half bales per
acre; it will not make over half bale, and
they told me it was the same up and down
the river as far as they knew. Put the crop
at under four millions sure, if the river is any
indication. I will be afraid to go down in my
field after this storm ceases. There are about
fifty bales cotton picked altogether.
Yours truly, T. L. VAN FossEN.
