Newport, Minnesota 
Dear Mr. Bailey: 
I have just taken time to very carefully review the report 
of Mr. Hanson and Mr. Werner with respect to the inspection made of 
your nursery on August 5, 6, 7 and 8, 1941. Instructions were left 
with you with respect to the various findings of these inspectors. 
If you have any particular questions concerning these instructions 
we will be glad to write you further. 
I feel that in view of the statements made by these inspectors 
and from my observations made at your nursery earlier this season, you 
should be highly complimented on the fine condition of your nursery, 
both from the standpoint of freedom from injurious insects and diseases 
and the splendid cultural conditions. It is not often that we take 
time to write complimentary letters to nurserymen. However, we believe 
that your nursery is in such an exceptionally good condition this year 
that it is only fair for us to take time to congratulate you. Your 
nursery has the reputation of being one of the finest and best kept 
in the northwest from year to year, - however, we were so pleased with 
the special reports made this year that we believe the above statements 
are in order. 
Very truly yours
