Prof. C. E. Bessey,
Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir,

Will you do
me the kindness and a favor
by telling me how to preserve
specimens of wood.

I have been collecting
different kinds of wood
for some time past and
will be very much pleased
to learn how to preserve them.

Hoping to hear from you
at your earliest convenience
I remain.

Respectfully
B. J. Blythe.
