vE' very little to write you and none of your letters
.
s you doubtless know, the Belpian Liission bought no cot-
or elivery at iiouston on their last order, but bought about
,O00 be ses for New (rleana delivery. hen we learned this, we
i ired then a supplementary offer of several hundred bales that we
had at Greenville, texas, that we could deliver at New Orleans,
bt1 we filed to get a reply.
ou undoubtedly ry be right about our buying whatever
1 1u and 1-1/32c cotton that we can find in Middling and Strict
fiddling, but there is practically no 1-1/16" cotton in Texas
except irri gated notion. Most of it is centered in Memphis and
Little Rook. We fear, too, that some of it has been called 1-1/16"
which is nothing like our idea of that staple. While we may be
in the clear in tendering the government board's 1-1/16" certificate,
.e receiver's disappointment in the outturn might serve to penalize
in the future. =e shall try to buy some Middling and Strict
-.ddling 31/32" and 1" but the Striot Riddling particularly seems
urae _..enoy giving you the name of the local agency of the
company in which your automobile policy is placed. Kay says you
are f ll r covered.
I am enciosin rou a v-mail l1ct;er that I r eve rcom
ir est - antzel which you can return if convenient, though it is
not seriously important.
matterss still are very unishturbe on tht' ,urface at
Su'ar L nd, but nothing of a controversial nature has occurred or
been broached by either one of us.
Ce are offering Spain today a couple of thousand bales
of cotton for which they have invited offers to be in Tuesday,
the 6th, subject to their reply by the 10th, for April/lay
shipment, all based on government class f.o.b. ship here.
e shall probably offer on about the same basis that we sold
them some six weeks or two months ago. The basis really ought
to be higher. Our prices to Belgium were in line for the
qualities we offered, but they apparently wanted better staple
and bought nothing for Houston delivery.
'ith love to the family, ? remain as ever,
15 Yours devotedly,
