Just a line to say that I have lent your 1898 catalogue to Dr. Chapman, of this place, who has recently built a greenhouse, and have strongly 
recommended him to send his order to you. I have told him all that I have had from you has been far and away better than what I liave 
had from any other source, and I have decided never to get anything more from anyone but you. He has seen my place, and is much pleased.

My house was again a perfect blaze with Begonias, single and double, from yom establishment last summer, and 1 had a splendid show all

kept up a constant supply of cut flowers. I have given your name and address to some friends. I forgot to say I have now a grand display of 
Fancy Pansies from your seed.
