 " Mr Kennedy, i-:eadville, Mass, ouburb of :.';oston, " several packages of 

 flower seeds tied up in a single bundle, four letter, from which I might 

 have obtained your address with certainty, has been mislaid and so I must 

 guess again. I trust, however, that the package will reach you in Rood 

 condition. 



I hope you. will get something worth having out of the lot. 

 It nould give me very great -pleasure to visit again your beautiful home 

 and meet acain yourself, your charming wife, and your lovely daughter. 



I still remember vividly the claret punch, the wee drap whiskey, the 

 ride behind your fleers, and all the other wholehearted hospitality 

 which you displaced towards an utter stranger. It is not -probable that 

 we shall meet again; but my acquaintance with. you was one of the happi- 

 est incidents of a trip which made a Joyous epoch in my life. 



Present me cordially to Mrs Kennedy anu to your daughter, and 

 believe me, 



Very Sincerely yours,
