Frank Benton in the Far East.
Mr. Jones sends us the annexed extract from a letter of Mr. Benton’s,
and the following appreciative compliment to the BEE JOURNAL, for which
he will accept our thanks:
Herewith I send you extract from a private letter just
received from Frank Benton, dated Pointe de Galle, Ceylon,
Asia, Jan. 30, 1881. The AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL has a warm
corner in my heart. Right glad am I that you have taken time
by the forelock, and issued a weekly. I would not have you
go back to a monthly for $25 a year, and you deserve the
congratulations of every bee-keeper; that prosperity may
crown your efforts is my wish.
