In that letter thealdcrman mentiona that he expects me to supplement his letter with another, explaining tho methods of feuding by which " the lambs were brought to so high a state of perfection. " To do this will afford me very much pleasure, and with your conbur- renco, Mr. Kditor, I promise you a letter very shortly giving this information, ami also a summary of the financial statement relating to the transaction. I may mention further that a bulletin will lie put in thu hard* of the Department of Agriculture about a month hence, giving full detail* of tho whole transaction in all its phaaas. In the meantime I desire to say that I am greatly pleased with the more important fea- tures relating 'o thi* venture. I never did feel so much conoern regarding tho price that would bo paid for tho lambs, aa regard- ing their i<-.p.ahilftjr in tho t'.ngliah mar- Itet. This matter I regard aa forever set at rest.
