 lows, from Hamburg, a few days before 

 sailing for home, ^ptember 7: "The 

 crop outlook is good, unless there should 

 be considerable rain from now on, which 

 would not be beneficial. Prom what I 

 have seen, and, believe me, I have seen 

 some, the quality and quantity are here 

 this year. We had a great deal of rain 

 in August and the farmers had their 

 troubles in harvesting; it was good, 

 though, for the valley, but it should 

 stop JWW.**
