By advice of Chas. W. Garfield I asked
Elwood Graham concerning the 
existence of "yellows" in California,
he having recently spent some time
there, and, received the following 
reply:-

My dear Sir:- Yours of 26th is before
me. In reply I will say that I never
heard any complaint from any of
the growers, neither have I discovered
any [yellows] in that country.  have
visited several orchards, one in Marysville;
another in Sonoma Co., near Santa Rosa;
several in Napa Valley; and one in the 
vicinity of Los Angeles.

Would recommend that you communicate
with Professor Hilgarth,
Oakland, Cal., for more accurate 
information.

Very respectfully yours,
Elwood Graham
