Prof C. E. Bessey
Dear Sir.

I want to study
general Cryptogamic Botany
and especially Fungi.

Your Botany Part II. was reccommended
to me, but I cannot
find one in town, and I see
it is listed at $2.75 in the book
catalogues for the whole work.
I write to you to ask how much
on Cryptogams there is in it? Is
there enough to make it pay me to
buy the whole book. I have 6 school
Botanies already. Can I get the
Part II. separate?

Very Truly Yours
Mary G. [McClinney?]
