Dear Sir: 
I am sending an order for shrubbery and Tulip bulbs. 
Last spring I got a nice order from you, everything was 
in fine shape, and even though we had a dry summer we 
did not spare the water and everything grew. Some time 
I will send you some pictures of your beautiful shrubbery. 
I surely thank you for all the lovely plants. 
Sincerely, MRS. WALTER WHITMAN. 
Wisconsin Weeping Willow.
