portion of the corn has never
started to grow at all and
much that did make the effort
perished in consequence of drouth
Farmers are very much discouraged
at the prospects but it is not yet
to late to replant the corn which
most of them will do if it would
do - Fruit is about all killed
by the frosts in April

Our Sales were moderately liberal
this Spring but if farmers do not
rais a crop I fear it will be hard
to Collect - but we do not expet
to give it up so as two of us designs
going out Soon to take ordes for
fall delivey will you have lots of
Gooseberres Currants Grapes blackberry
of --good-- size if so write me Sometime
when at leasure and give me price
We got out our grafts in good Season and
they are doing as well as could be expected
also currants & gooseberres & Rhubarb but
Graps have gone by the board I mean the cuttings
We can fully Simpathise with you on account
of you misfortune caused by last Seasons
drouth but we hope such will not be the case
again Soon but I must close write Soon

Most Respectfully yours

J Cunningham
