Gentlemen : — Enclosed you will find my order, also exchange to pay for same. I find quite 
a lot of trees missing from last season's setting, but it was no fault of the trees. When I left 
here last April I went over and examined all the trees, two thousand (2,000) of which came 
from your nursery, and there were only six trees which had not started in good shape and five 
of those were killed by the rabbits. Last season was very dry here, with one spell of thirty- 
eight days without rain. D. S. YOUNG. Alabama.
