Montclair, N.J., Sept. 1, 1887.

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 30th ult. just at hand.  Mr. Minch is the
only one I know of who asserts positively he can or has
cured trees of the yellows.

Possibly he can show you the trees he has cured.  I have
seen trees undergo a remarkable change from a yellow sickly
appearance to a dark healthy green, from the application of
muriate of potash.  C. L. Jones, No. 8, Milford Ave., Newark,
our Treasurer, has a tree in his garden of this kind, but I am
not positive it was a "simon pure case" of yellows. Minch
is your man.  He goes to Boston 13th &c.  Will you get
through Jersey so as to join us?

In haste yours truly,

E. Williams.
