Lifton May 18/58
Friend Kennicott
No arrangements
have been yet matured in
respect to holding a fair of
the Ill. Hort. Soc. next fall
What would you recommend
to be done? ie. Where to hold it and in what manner to
[condnet] it. Are " Bentral Com",
do not think it best to meet
with the Ag. Soc. and propose
a separate fair.
I wish to get the views
of those who will be most in-
terested in the matter that some(underline)
arrangements may be perfected
very soon. Prospects are good
for fruits throughout the state
and I think a show may be
"got up" which will do credit to
the state- and perhaps "will pay" (underline)
