From New York City. 
Gentlemen: I want to tell you that I was very much pleased with the kind of roses you recently sent me; 
if fact, every thing I have had from you has been most satisfactory, which is a great deal more than I can say 
from some other sources of supply. 
In future anything 1 may need for my country place, I am going to take the liberty of ordering through 
you, whether you handle them or not, and ask you to have them executed for me. 
I trust that this will meet with your approval. 
Yours truly.
