Haskell's was broken Square across the Cap, can be straped? my two were both broken in the fronts. I have managed however to set them. I think they had been rough handled, but in the first place were badly packed. was not packing enough between the plates, they bore uppon each other, and that not eveanly. I am however exceedingly glad to receive mine even as they are, they are an new article in the west. I wonder that our western founderys do not cast them. I think many of them would be used, if they could be obtained conveniently, mine are much admired. The charges on the box when they arrived at Point Douglass were only $9.45
