Gentleman-

It gives me much pleasure to write concerning what your seeds have done for me- My seed order was sent from San Diego, Calif. to be delivered to my brother W. J. Gray of this place. The seeds arrived ahead of me and I could hardly wait to get them into the ground. My two gardens are a mile and a quarter apart.

Two brothers W. J. Gray and Earl A. Gray had ground to offer, one here in town (about a 1/2 acre) and the other nearly an acre a mile and a quarter from town - After the plowing and harrowing was done, I went to work and planted [[underlined]] both [[/underlined]] gardens.
