Beldt’s Aquarium: 
Some time ago I wrote you that the water lilies I purchased did 
not "come” and shortly afterwards I was a bit surprised to receive a 
replacement shipment. This was a very fine thing for you to do and 
I much appreciate it particularly because I did not understand that 
you guarantee merchandise. M. R. PERRY. 
St. Benedict’s Abbey, Atchison, Kansas, July 30, 1936. 
Beldt’s Aquarium: 
I felt that I ought to write you about the plants and fish I ordered 
from you the early part of June. The plants all arrived in first class 
condition and all of them have been growing nicely. The three tropical 
lilies have been blooming continuously for about three weeks.
