Boston, Mass., Jan. 5. 1893.

Dr. Alfred Russell [sic] Wallace,

Parkstone, Dorset, England.

My Dear Doctor:

I last evening read your first paper, "Dealing with the Farmer".1 It is the most admirable essay that I have yet read on the subject, and cannot fail to do an immense amount of good.

I yesterday sent you [an] International Post Office order for $200, which I trust will be promptly received. The orders were sent by registered mail.

Wishing you a prosperous and happy year, I remain,

Cordially yours, | B. O. Flower.2
