4 flower show to get funds for our poor and some of his wonderful plants would be a great attraction. I expect to have the
show at the end of April and the principal flowers will be Daffodils and Primroses in all their varieties. This year I am
collecting for this purpose. One year I made 300 in a small attempt I made at a village, so I hope here I can get 1000. We
have much poverty this year amongst the unemployed. Farming does not pay in England and manufacturing is overdone and we cannot
compete with your adopted (for you are a Scotchman) country. Please remember us kindly to your daughters. My regards to Mrs.
Muir and with many many good friendly wishes to yourself. Sincerely Yours E. Furse in margin: 378 Mar. 21, 1905
Dear Prof. Muir Your letter of Feb. 15th was a real treat. I am very glad that you have not forgotten me. How I should like
to make you a visit When I can go to California again I cannot tell. I know I have to go to the eastern states towards the
end of the summer but only for a few days. I must return before one of my sons goes to India. Then I expect to go to Egypt
where my youngest son is going. He has suddenly given up 03351
