I have the honor to inform you, that I shall feel great pleasure in providing the plants desired by you any morning at 9 during the month of May, if you will be good enough to authorize a resident in this vicinity to receive them and to sign the respective documents at my office. It would be desirable that the recipient should provide a wooden case for the careful packing of the plants.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
your obedient servant
