Dear Sirs
Yours is just recd. We recd your shpt of Peonies too late for Spring Sale. They were not as large Roots as I had reason to expect from your advertisement. - We too are trying to build but the hardness of the times renders it quite impossible. We will attend to your demands as soon as possible. I have just returned from a Collecting tour but could not get enough to bear expenses -
Very Truly
F. [Ducke?]
