The following extracts from letters received from Mr. Van Deman 

 show that the fruit reached its destination in safety. 



"Your letter ot the 19th February is just received and I trust the 

 apples will arrive soon. We will try to make models which shall be 

 characteristic, but if the specimens are badly bruised this will be 

 hard to do, as the molds will take the slightest impression. Next 

 fall I want to be sure to have good specimens from your State. I 

 want Nodhead and all of the standard varieties so that Maine may 

 not be left behind and especially in those varieties which succeed 

 the best." 



"They will be used in making models as we are now getting ready 

 for the Columbian Exposition."
