On Vacation
Middle Grove, N. Y. Aug 6th 1924

W. Atlee Burpee Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sirs:-

In writing about What Burpees Seeds have done for me, I find the task a hopeless one, with the limitations you have made.  You will find I have used about 270 words and have not yet begun.  How I would like to have spoken of varieties and individual plants, observed in each state ect, but I have already over reached your specifications (if I remember rightly) therefore, I suppose I have forfited my right to any prize you have offered.  Gentlemen, I could not tell you what Burpee's seeds have done for me, and do the subject justice in 200 or even 500 words.
Sincerely

Rev. G. R. Crockett, W. Pawlet, Vermont.
