Dear Bessey:–

I have been going
over the M.S. S. for the S. P. A. S. proceedings
which are to go to the printer very soon
I am very anxious that you have
a full paper upon your subject,
and if it is not now ready I
will suggest that, to give you more
time, you send it direct to Prof.
Shelton Manhattan Kas. The printing
will probably be done by the
Ag. Col. printing dept. I am so
much interested in your points
that it will be a disappointment
to not see[n?] them fully presented.
— I am here in Boston
and go to Cambridge daily alternating
between Farlow and Goodale Profs
B[a?]rns and Bailey are here. I
hope you are well and prospering
