Dea Sir

Some time since (29t Oct) I forwarded you an order for Trees and enclosed Ten Dollar & wrote you that I wished you to use your judgment whether to send them by Express then or wait until spring. Not having recd an answer I fear the letter never reached you.

Will you please inform me. If the letter was rec'd, it is so late now you will please not forward the trees until spring. send them as early as it is pru-dnt and oblige

Your respectfully

John L Griswold
