Letter from William C. Blyth

Letter from William C. Blyth, of Plenty, to J. Waldie dated 5 September 1869.
Hops likely to be a remunerative speculation as they had failed in England, but there was no blight in the Huon which was likely to be the future hop garden of Tasmania and he urged J . Waldie and Frank Tappes to try. His father had sent a load of hop sets to Victoria. Blyth had received the apple trees from Frank Tappes. His school was giving him a comfortable living - he had all the children of the neighbourhood except some of the very lowest and dirtiest he had got rid of and the Read children who had a governess.
