Gentlemen:— Nashua, N. H. 
Dahlia King is right. Please find enclosed $2.00, also list of dahlias wanted. I got some two 
years ago and they were entirely satisfactory. My house burned last year and ruined a large part of 
them. Norma never came forward ; would be much delighted to get one. Met young Alexander at
