I  wrote  to  Mr.  Whitney  at  once  the  time  was  too  Bhort  to  got  the  goods  ready,  and  he
should  write  me  when  he  would  have  another  vessel  ready,  but  have  not  heard  from
him.  When  I  found  that  I  could  not  make  any  satisfactory  arrangements  to  ship  from
New  York,  I  went  to  Baltimore  to  see  what  could  be  done.  I  soon  found  out  that
parties  who  own  the  vessels  do  a  trading  business  themselves  at  Demerara,  and  take
no  outside  freights  that  interfere  with  their  trade.  Then  I  left  the  business  in  hands
of  a  friend  to  see  different  parties,  to  see  if  I  could  find  no  way  to  get  the  goods
shipped.  I  received  a  letter  from  my  friend  stating  I  should  ship  the  goods  in  his  care,
and  ho  would  seo  that  the  goods  were  shipped,  but  I found  two  days'  time  was  too  short
notice,  hence  I  am  sorry  to  say  that  I  have  given  up  all  further  efforts  to  try  to  ship'
the  cigars.
I  did  not  think  I  would  have  so  much  trouble  and  so  little  satisfaction  from  those
shipper*  in  Now  York  and  Baltimore.  I  presume  there  must  be  some  kind  of  ring,  and
money  i  n  it,  to  get  goods  shipped  to  Demerara  in  large  quantities.  I  sappose  if  I  would
get  up  two  or  three  hundred  thousand  cigars,  and  give  these  shippers  an  interest  in
them,  I  would  have  no  trouble  to  get  them  to  ship  to  Demerara.
Yours,  very  respectfully,

JOHN  FENDRICH.
