 Gentlemen — In my letter of last week I gave 

 vou a percentage for the Phosphate of Lime in 

 the SOMBRERO GUANO you sent me for analy- 

 sis, which I suspected at the time to be too high, 

 us I informed you. An error was probably made 

 in the weighing. 



The analysis has since been repeated by both 

 Or. Tattle and myself, and I submit the follow- 

 ing as a reliable result: 



Phosphate of lime, 83.43 

 Carbonate of lime, 3.45 

 Insoluble matter, 1.18 

 Moisture and organic matter, 11.47 



w.53 



The organic matter in the Guano was too 

 inconsiderable to be deemed worthy of separate 

 estimation. 



Very respectfully vmir ob't serv't, 



S. MAUf IN. 



Messrs. Edmond & Davenport, Richmond. Va. 



The above was an average sample, of Som- 

 brero Guano from the bark Christiana's cargo, 

 (315 ton?), We refer to a former advertise- 

 ment as to what other eminent chemists think 

 of this Guano; and among planters of our own 

 State, to whom we would refer, we name the 

 Rev. J k S. Armistead. of Cumberland, who has 

 purchased for himself and friends some twenty 

 tons of it.

It contains 800 acres, divided into rive fields, 550 be- 

 ing arable, the balance well timbered. It has 150 

 acres of good bottom land, which is well adapted to 

 grain and grass. The high land has no superior in 

 the county, in its adaptation to grain, tobacco and 

 grass and iis high susceptibility of improvement. 



The houses, for all kinds of farming purposes, are 

 numerous and in good order, with a large Dwelling. 

 House, in neat repair, and every out house. I invite an 

 examination of the Farm, and am willing to sell it, 

 just as the lands and growing crops show for them- 

 selves, being satisfied that no such farm, containing 

 advantages of soil, location and price, nan be purchas-
