Malta, Saratoga County, New-York, August 10th, 1863, 
Messks. Mallory & Sanford :— 
Gentlemen : On the 19th day of March we drew to the mill 
of N.G. Akin thirty-nine hundred and thirty (3930) pounds 
of flax straw, which he dressed through the Old Brake, and 
we received four hundred and eighty-one (481) pounds dress- 
ed flax. 
"We, about the first of June, drew to the mill of Win. H. 
Buckley fourty-fo-ur hundred and ten (4410) pounds of flax 
straw, which was dressed through one of your Patent Flax 
Brakes; we received eight hundred and Ave (80')) pounds of 
dressed flax. 
The flax was grown on the same piece of land, and there 
was no perceptible difference in the quality of the flax, ex- 
cept that the portion drawn to Akin's mill was rotted in the 
Fall of 1802, and that drawn to Mr. Buckley's Mill was spring 
rotted, which is considered not as good, from the fact that it 
loses part of the oily matter from the fiber, and thus not 
yield as much per ton of straw as the fall rotted. 
You will perceive by the above statement that we received 
from Mr. Akin's mill 245 pounds nearly of dressed flax per 
ton of straw, and from Mr. Buckley's mill 365 pounds of 
dressed flax per ton, which makes a difference of 120 pounds 
per ton in favor of your Brake. 
We are recommending our neighbors to take their flax to 
one of your Brakes to have it dressed, although it is fifteen 
miles to the nearest one at present. 
J. B. WEEKS. 
L. L. WEEKS. 
I certify that the above statement is correct, as I saw the 
Weigher's receipts for both lots of straw, and weighed the 
dressed flax myself that was dressed at my mill. Tin; flax 
dressed at Mr. Akin's mill is correct, no doubt, as the above 
gentlemen are perfectly reliable.
