Prof. C. E. Bessey,

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 24th at
hand.

Mr. Readhead, of R&W called
on us to-day and ordered
40 copies of your Botany.

We are [?] the book
all we can, but won't
be able to ship any of them
before next week.

A sample copy will be sent
to you from the very first
[lot?/box?] that we get in.

Respectfully Yours
Henry Holt & Co.
