Dear Sir — I regret it was not in my power yt s- 
terday, when I saw you, to give you any opinion 
with regard to a small lot of cotton I have growl- 
ing from seed presented to me last spring by my 
friend John VV. Graves, Esq. Since then, how- 
ever, 1 have been to my plantation and made com- 
parison of it with my crop of cotton, and now 
take pl'_astire in saying to you, it is a superior ar- 
ticle in point of fineness and length of fibre, con- 
taining more lint on tlie seed, and will yield much 
more from the same quantity of land planted. 
J am respectfully, dear sir, 
1. our obedient servant, 
[Signed] Wm. Johnston. 
Georgia, Newton County: 
I hereby certify that I obtained from John Vv . 
Graves, of this county, a sack of Colton Seed, 
(which he represented of superior quality intro- 
duced from Texas,) which I planted last spring, 
and find to exceed my most sanguine e'.pectation. 
I planted it two or three weeks after my other 
cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) and notwith- 
standing the season w’s dry and unfavorable 
throughout the year, (the growing season) yet it 
is by far the best cotton I ever made. I think by 
the time it isali gathered, the best part will yield 
2000 to 2590 pounds per acre. My neighbors who- 
hgve seen it are of the- same opinion. From the 
trial I have made, I believe it-will yield double as 
much as my other cotton on land of the samefer-' 
tility. [Signed] Jackson Harwell.. 
24th October, 1844. 
Georgia, Morgan County : 
This is to certify that T am neighbor to Jol.n'F 
McNeil, Esq., and that- he last spring got a load 
of Texas Cotton Seed from John W. Graves,- 
Esq., of Newton county, and planted them on 
what I consider average land of his farm ; and 
from frequent observation of the crop, with hi& 
other cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) I do be- 
lieve it will far excel any other cotton I have eves 
seen raised in this section of country. And I 
also believe that the staple excels any other I 
have ever examined, as to fineness and color. 
['/Signed^ John P. Evans. 
This will certify that I acted as overseer for 
Mr. John T. McNeil for the year 1 944. My know-- 
ledge of farming induces me to believe that the 
Texas Cotton, raised by Mr. McNeil this year, is 
a very superior article, and with me preferable to 
any other cotton 1 have ever raised. It is of long 
and fine staple, and well boiled, and easily picked 
out, and has withstood a drought this year belter 
than the Petit Gulph Cotton. It is, in a word, a 
valuable cotton I have ginned eight bales of the 
Texas Cotton on Mr. McNeil’s Carver Gin, and 
find that it yields one pound of clear cotton from 
three of seed cotton ; and from my experience of 
thirty years in cotton growing, I have never raiss 
ed any I think equal to the Texas Cotton. 
[Signed] ' Allison Kent: 
Al-gusta-, October 30, 1844. 
John VV. Graves, Esq. : 
Dear Sir — Having been called on by you to* 
make a statement in relation to your Texas Cot- 
ton, w’s take pleasure in saying, that for the last 
two or three years we have received at our ware- 
house your cotton crops. Tffie quality has inva- 
riably proved Very supeiior, both as to color and. 
length of staple. On sale, it has always brought 
the highest market price. We consider it a very 
superior article in the cotton line. 
Your obedient servants, 
Adams & Hopkins. 
Mr. John, R. MsNeiV: 
Dear Fir — We have received the two bales of 
Texas Cotton sent by you to ns, and take pleas- 
ure in saying that in color and length of staple it 
is superior to anything we have seen ; and cheer- 
fully recommend it as such as- w’ill alvvaj s bring 
the highest market price. 
Tout' obedient servants, 
n5-wp&Ctf Clark & Roberts.
