llth. Indigo has not yet been cultivated ; but I 

 have now taken some hundred beegahs for next 

 sowing. Cotton is cultivated, but not much, and 

 that too of a very inferior kind. I applied for 

 some cotton seed when in Calcutta, but there was 

 then none in store. Some American Tobacco seed 

 then obtained did not vegetate, although tried at 

 three different times. Sugar-cane is cultivated to 

 about an eighth part of the cultivated lands. 



12th. The soil is almost the same as before men- 

 tioned.
