Iowa City, Dec. 22, 1859.

John A. Kennicott, Esq.

Dear Sir, Little
in advance of the time I promised, you
will find enclosed draft for $900 due
you for shrubbery. I have mislaid your
bill and am not certain whether it is
right or not. Please preserve my order
and fill it in the Spring.

When Mrs. Crun was setting out
the roots last fall, a small boy, about
8 years old, was present, when he remakred
"Do all people, selling these roots, cut them
up as much as these are! Oh! how nice
flowers they would have brought if they
had not been cut up so!"

If the draft is not sufficient to
cover my present indebtedness, add it to
my next.

yours truly

W. Crun
