Gentlemen:— 
We arrived home safely with our order of fruit trees. 
We greatly appreciate the personal attention given us 
by the Allen Bros. 
After inspecting our purchase, we decided we had 
received far greater value for our money than we had 
anticipated, as all trees showed marked evidence of 
careful handling, a great contributing factor to growth. 
Again we thank you, and assure you that we will 
heartily recommend your products to our friends. 
Very respectfully, 
JOHN BECKWITH.
