Dear Dr

I have regretted much
since I was at your delight-
-ful home that I was under
the necsity of making you
so short a visit (on my
account) I wanted to know
about some of your variets
which I have not as yet
propegated. I have [tested?]
in my orchard 115 Varats.
& to tell you as I think
I am more at a loss what
varietes to put in my
orchard than ever
before I have our 1160
apple trees in orchard
Some of which look fine
but many are affected
on south south west exposure
& some in forks 1/2 or
more of my orchard are
on the seeling stock
