Excerpt from Some Notes Upon the Introduction of the Woolen Manufacture Into the United States
In January, 1871, upon the request of the "Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry," I prepared a paper upon the "Introduction of the Woolen Manufacture into the United States," which was published in the transactions of the Society for 1870.
The origin of this request was the following letter from Hon. Horace Capron, then Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., to a member of the Society, viz.:
"Department of Agriculture,
"Washington, D.C., January 18, 1870.
"Hon. James DeW. Perry, Bristol, R. I.
"My Dear Sir: - ... It has occurred to me to ask you to refer a matter of considerable importance to me, to your Society for investigation.
