D J A Kennicott of the Grove

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
