straight lines lapping [out?] over
the other like shingles on a roof,
or rather like the fibres of cotton
when spun into a thread?
Which have these in small bunches
or bundles? Are the fibres in this
case coiled up similar to the
spring of a match? If so, what
holds the fabric together? So which
class do straw, & the different
grasses belong? How can I
distinguish those with straight
fibres from the others?"

I judge the party to be interested
in paper manufacturing.

By answering the above at your
earliest convenience, you will
greatly oblige – Very truly yours,
