Mr.. q. D. JONES,

Dear Sir:-The apples came to hand
in due time, and must say that we never
saw such fruit oven IN the east; and the
fruit business has been our exclusive
calling for some years. We held a sort
OF matinee for two days and our only
exhibit was apples grown in New Next
co. Some few Of our ~envsousl California
fruit growers said you we're giving us q
"little Fill but we assured them thai
they we're honestly New Mexico grown.
Truly, Mr.. Jones, they we're marvellous
fruit sent to q place that is devoted to
fruit growing. Please accept our thanks.
We will remember you when our fancy
Navels come in.
Yours truly,
STEELE & GRAIL.
