F. A. Kimball, Esq.,
National City, Calif.,

Dear Sir:- We got a sample of your new olives. They were so fine that I sent them to Admiral Brown's table. He has come to me and expressed his great interest in them, and stated they were the best he has ever gotten in any North American country, that they reminded him of what he got in South American countries. What do you ask for them?

As it is likely the Admiral will be here three or four weeks I should like to have you come over, if you can make it convenient, and to introduced to him. I think he would very much enjoy a visit to your mills if they are running. If you have any especially fine olives you believe will suit the Admiral, let me know the price of enough to supply him during his stay.

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock
