I suppose you are an.xious to learn how the bees 

 are getting along which you shipped to me July 7. 

 Well, the little fellows cam<' all right. Wed., the 

 8th. at night. We got them Thursday morning, and 

 had them in one of i/mn- hives b\ ten o'clock. They 

 h..d a good lly, and wmt right ti) work. Yesterday 

 they looked as though they were swarming, there 

 were so many jonng Ixes Hying. I feel as if I must 

 thank .M)U tor your promi)tness, and for the nice 

 way in which you sent them. Last fall I had eleven 

 swarms, and I lost i'\ ci-y one. 1 should have sent 

 to you belorc July toi- tlu>m, but I was so dis- 

 couraged. 1 at last ohtiiined one swarm, from 

 which 1 have anothei-; and with one from you now 

 makes me three. 1 shall now use your hives, and 

 ne.xt fall put them into the chaff hives, and I hope 

 to succeed better with them. I feel I can not give 

 them II)) entirely jet, for I do love them so, and I love 

 to watch them and study lhem:an'i I hope, with 

 (iod's help, to realize something from them yet.
