Dear Sir!
You will allow an old friend to send You this small N. Y. gift as it may convey You some idea of the real struggle our peasant population are waging constantly against a hard climate and a poor soil.—1
With my best wishes for the N. Y. and many more to come | I remain Your very truly | an old Friend
P.S. You asked me once for Adm. Boutakoff photo, he is now over 8 years dead, but his widow, on my request sends You his portrait2
