Please allow me space in your
paper to correct a report made
by me. I mention your paper
because it is so generally nad
in this vicinity. What I wish
to say in justice to Mr. Bray is
that the statement made by me
to the effect that. I lost two hun
dred pounds of cotton by Mr.
P. N. Bray's scales was made
without the proper thought.
The cotton was sent down by
two men in my employ, and 1
could not or would not, say that
the cotton ever reached Mr.
Bray's gin.
