graphic memorial from our envoy,

I'm abundance of rain fell here last
week and refreshed things up to Il con
siderable degree. Everybody has sown
turnip patches.
Since the rain the weather has mode
rated, and is much cooler TO the cotton
plckcIs. Cotton is about half open,
and that is precious little, for the crop
is the shortest that we have had for
years, but then as we are receiving 4
very handsome price for it we have no
grounds to make any complaint.
Peaches are all gone.
Little Mallic, the three year old
