Dear Sir,

Sand cherries are beginning to get
ripe now.

Everybody I have spoken to are much pleased
to have you give a lecture at the assembly and
the managers are sorry they did not think of
it in time to have a regular farmers day devoted
to agricultural subjects. But it will
be advertised as much as possible. In the
absence of the president of the society I can
not say just when the place can be given you
but he will be back Sunday evening and we
will arange the date and have it published.
The papers will ask the farmers not only to be
present but to bring you specimens of as many
varieties of plants as they will.

Yours Very Truly,
C. M. Stevans.
