Machipongo, Va., Feb. 27 
Am sorry to send you such a small order, but we have just a small place in our back yard to grow 
vegetables. We like your seeds very, very much. I believe every seed comes up that we plant. I 
wrote a friend in West Virginia two years ago how well we liked your seeds and for her to try them. 
Her answer was : Am well acquainted with Alneer’s seeds, have been using them for years. Hope to 
give you a larger order next time.
