	Summary Remarks	Letter from Thomas Parry to A Colvin, at Calcutta. Mentions that to produce the Works with the produce of indigo this year will cover all of our advances. I hope that we do better next year and send large consignments to our friends in London. Do the manufacturers in Bengal turn the cakes after they are placed in the Drying house? If so how often? What description of cloth is used for straining the indigo when it is taken from the vat to the copper and how long is it boiled in the copper.
