The springs were very low the last year, and the berries suffered, otherwise I think he would have doubled the quantity. He has kept most of. them, and has had offered $16 per barrel, in New York. You will agree with me in supposing that low as it is, $1280 is not a small income from so small a field. In Mr. Lathrop's absence I make these statements* Perhaps hereafter he will favor you with other and more interesting. I have, however, been familiar with all his management, and am personally interested in the cranberry culture. I have recently bought one- sixth of a cranberry swamp, where the company have built a house, and employed a man by the year in bringing it to cranberry vines. I also own another lot, where at much less expense I hope to bring a large lot into cranberry land. There are companies, like that with which I am connected, formed, and they have brought swamp into vines at a cost from $200 to $400 per acre. Yours truly. ' O. Myrick.
