4996. MANUFACTURES, Cotton.—[continued].

I am much pleased to find our progress in manufactures to be so
great. That of cotton is peculiarly interesting,
because we raise the raw material in such
abundance, and because it may, to a great degree,
supply our deficiencies both in wool and
linen.—
To J. Dorsey. Washington ed. v, 235.
