thanks of your Galloway nieces? Some of the most tender specimens were a little frozen during their long cold journey. I planted the one you marked also the geranium, but it is such cold weather here now that I [deleted: very much] doubt their growing, though I very much hope they will.

Lovingly, your niece, Anna G. Galloway.
