Dear Sir 
It is with much pleasure & gratitude that I imbrace this opportunity of writing

before they could finally conclude to leave their native country.  It is from

quantity & if it is hard to produce in variety, the vegetables of Va.

distinctly in a way much favourable for sale in your country.  Tell me your
