EEIToR HERALD:
DEAR SIR To the undersigned
has been more particularly committed
the development of Silk Culture in
the Southern States, by the Mississippi
Silk Company, chartered organiza.
tion with headquarters at Aberdeen,
Miss.
The astonishing progress of Silk
Manufacturing in this country
within the last few years; the
amply demonstrated adaptation Of
the climate of the Southern States
to sericuiture the cheap lands
of the South most especially
the grand opening given by silk
culture to the unemployed ladies OF
the South the commentator of this
industry by unbiased, studious, COM
petent, ezperimeDtalists and inVesti-
gators the crowniDg proof of It's
practicability and proftableness,. in
the fact that one of the most eminent
silk houses in Europe will soon have
business connection With the Com
pany in question, all point to silk cul-
ture as a lucrative pursuit and most
eligible for southern ladies' at once
easy, fascinating and readily learned.
The remuneratiSe aspect and the
new field it ope6s to the intelligent
and unemployed among southern
ladies, commend the enterprise, most
especially to the good will Of the
public; and some the advanced
thinkers and most public spirited men
and women at the South, from phil
authropic motives alone, are deVoting
their efforts to induce southern ladies
to engage in the business !; and their
| efforts are meeting with most crafty
ing success; several prominent or
ganisations of ladies having been
already formed IN various southern
cities.
The undersigned desires to visit as
many of the leading cities and towns
of the South as possible, between the
Fall and Spring. To do so, it can
readily be seen that no visit must be
made at random, or in the dark; but
that he must visit only those places
where considerable interest in the
matter is already felt, or may be
aroused by his visit.
Being unsequainted with anyone in
your city with whom to correspond,
be asks from your courtesy the favor
ofa publication of this letter, in the
hope that it may lead to a cores
pondence with one or several infu-
entail persons in your city, so that
the way may be opened for visit and
lecture on silk culture, and to lay
the basis for an organization to
develop silk culture in your com
muuity. If there should be sufficient
interest felt to effect an organization, a
coooonery can be established, sud the
basis laid for Development that may
lead to very substantial results. Not
only will the community be educated
on silk culture; but flature Or reel.
ing establishment may be built to
purchase the cocoons, and even a
silk manufactory may result.
Hoping the warm interest the
press takes, generally, in Development,
and particularly ia this Industry, 60
peculiarly adapted to the South, may
induce you to regard the request as
not too exacting: -
I am very respectfully yours,
NJ. B. HILLYARD.
! P. S:-Parties desiring te co operate
in an organization for their COM
munities, should address me promptly
at Mobile, Alabama.
