Yellows in California

June 1, 1888.

Prof. Erwin F. Smith.

Dear Sir:- Your letter dated
May 26 - just at hand.  As my husband
is absent from home will
answer your questions.  We both
have the same amount of knowledge
in this particular. We have never heard
or learned as a fact, that this disease
peach yelllows exists in [this] part of
California, or ever has.  We believe that
dreaded disease has never come to this
state or surely we would have
known it.  There are some nurserymen
in Los Angeles City
who have deciduous fruit trees shipped
from Northern California.
Can learn from them within a few 
days, if peach "yellows" has a hold
in any part of this State.  Will then
write to you again.

Most respectfully,
Mrs. Irving White,
Sierra Madre,
California.
