Eggleston, Va., JNIay 8, 1905. 

 L. A, Goodman, Kansas City, Mo. : 



Dear Sir — Reports of Missouri Horticultural Society received in 

 due time. Sickness prevented my acknowledging receipt sooner. I 

 find it, as I expected, one of the best, if not the best, I have in my col- 

 lection. Eminently practical as it is, it should be very helpful to every 

 one interested in orcharding. Please accept postage (15 cents) and 

 believe me. Truly yours, etc., 



C. E. Stafford, M. D. 



Butler, Mo., June 12, 1905. 

 Am just in receipt of the 47th annual report of the State Horticul- 

 tural Society, for which accept thanks. It is interesting, instructive and 

 valuable to every Missourian, whether he grows or only consumes fruit. 

 Thanks. Yours, etc., 



O. D. Austin.
