Gentlemen:—Mrs. G—— requests me to tell you she was delighted with 
the Crinum Kirkii, which she purchased of you last Spring. It sent up 
a double flower stalk with a dozen blooms on each stalk, that was really a 
famous bulb, and I do not think money could take it away from her now. 
Yours truly,
