Dear Prof. Bessey

Yours is rec'd. Your
proposition as to the botany
is excellent, and will
be carried out so far as
this [?] of the line is concerned.

I concur fully in your
remarks as to advertising.
I sent your letter to McCalla
& Stavely to reinforce my
own requests of a similar
kind.

Hoping to meed you at
Ann Arbor

I am yours truly,
Edwd. D. Cope
