CHAPTER XXXYI.
HOW CONTRACTS WERE KEPT.
ABOUT the middle of April we began to think about get ting our cotton-seed upon the plantation, ready for plant ing. "We should have to haul it some four miles, over a very bad road, which would take at least three days. Accordingly, I addressed a note to the gentleman with whom we had previously contracted, asking him to deliver the seed to the bearer, and placed the same in the hands of Billy, who started off with our two teams.
The teams returned in ab...out three hours, the wagons empty, with a message from the gentleman that he had no seed for us !
I sent Billy back with another note, recalling our pur chase of seed on the wharf-boat, thinking it possible he might have forgotten it, and with a view of refreshing his memory ; but Billy again returned with the same answer.
The next day I met the man in the village, and asked him what it all meant. He said he had been disappointed in his seed, and was sorry to have to break his contract. I mildly suggested that, as he had contracted to furnish 190 A YEAR OF WRECK.
