 Mr. Ben G. Davis: 



Dear Sir — Please find enclosed $5, for which please send me the very best 

 Golden Queen you can for the money. If you can't ship her at once, please 

 notify me. I ordered one from you 3 years ago last fall that was the best I 

 ever saw. Her bees stored 320 pounds of comb honey the first year. I have 

 several of her daughters that are fine. 



Hoping to get a good one again. I am yours truly.
