Mesrs Kennicott, Gents, I have this day sent you Thurs. bill of which you will find on the other half? amt oc which please place to my credit. I found on examination that I had but one plant each of Peonia Reavisii? and Pottsi (undivided) and thought I had better not send you any others as you were particular in ordering new ones. Had not an Eaonumous Latifolia fit to send. they having fallen a prey to Rabbits. The Gooseberries will "average" better than those sent last spring. Hope the article will suit as also prices. Have put up the lot in a bundle with plenty of straw about the roots. The Raspberries are harty larger and not small plants

of 1 yr growth. Can you exchange yearly currants for gooseberries?- Am very short of currants. Have made the bill this eve in a great hurry. If anything is not right please mention it and it shall be made right. Please write me when the package is recd. In haste Your Truly J.A. Little

another boy made his appearance in our family Thursday eve- mother and Babe quite well.------
