"To my great surprise, my order arrived this morning! My first thought was that the cheque I wrote to pay for the order could not surely have reached you until this morning at the earliest. I wasn’t able to get out to post it until yesterday. Most impressive and so trusting. The plants are in good shape and looking very promising. Thank you very much indeed. Your service is very much appreciated."
