the position. He has taken
charge of the Entomology in
our college for several years,
and has during that time done
much original work [?].

Please advise me as to
the status of the matter, and
do not consider this as more than
an inquiry in Mr. Osborn's interest.
When he learns the
status of the matter he may not

just now.

He spends the winter
with Dr. [Hagen?] in Cambridge.

Very truly [&c?]
C. E. Bessey.
