I take the liberty of addressing a line to you for information respecting the culture and growth of the Cranberry.

The idea has occupied my mind some time that might be made a profitable crop

Will you be so kind as to give me some light upon this subject. How & where the plants may be obtained &c &c Such information will be most thankfully rec'd. I will no longer tresspass upon your valuable time

Very respectfully

Yours &c
