 ducing at the least possible expense improved 

 specimens of cotton of various kinds, and the in-

 thousand begahs, you must, of course, have re- 

 ceived in the early months of the present year 

 some quantities of the different kinds of cotton

 as also the cotton that may be grown at any sub-

 sent to England with the necessary papers of ex- 

 planation.

 to possess, in point of purity and fineness, over the 



cotton
