Context

Dear Mr. Bottermuller: Enclosed is a recent article in the Kansas City Times, Thursday morning, Sept. 25, 1969, just to let you know that I am still in business and am continuing to look for a suitable wine grape in Northwest Missouri. Wine from the Virginia seedlings you helped me obtain is certainly by far the best wine that I can produce from native grapes in this area. This year for the first time, I have a small amount of Roby Cabernet wine, which of course is a true Vinifera and has no foxy after flavor. I continue to hear about you from friends passing through Herman. Hope to see you again in the near future, so we can talk about wine. Sincerely, Enc.
