April 24, 1933 
Dear Sirs: 
Received my order of nursery stock. 
Everything looks good. Everything I got: 
from you last year sure did fine. 
Fellows running through the country selling. 
nursery stock sure praise the trees and said 
they wished I would buy some things from 
them but now 1 find out that they are telling 
different parties that they sold me nursery 
stock. That gets me hot under the collar. 
Now, I was wondering if you would send me 
some kind of a sign that I bought them from 
you. 18 to 24 inch Chinese Elm I got from 
you in 1931 are 10 feet high now. 
I live right along gravel road mile north 
of Wirock. The^e wasn’t a fence on this place 
2 years ago so you see why people notice 
them trees. 
Vours very truly, 
Walter Dobereiner.
