 I just want to tell you that all the trees, roots, berries and 

 vines we have gotten from you have more than filled our 

 expectations. Every tree is flourishing; the berries are full 

 of blossoms — even the currants which you sent us only a few 

 weeks ago. I cannot recommend your stock too highly.
