But the conditions ~re- main with little change, except that the regions now bearing pine are more remote and the class of tim- ber being taken out is smaller and consists of floatable stufl of all kinds. besides some hardwoml.

The actions of Messrs Britton and Morgan, therefore, came in the na- ture of a surprise, and I am indeed grateful to them for their kindness.
