Prof Chas. E Bessey.

Dear Sir:

I have your, enclosing [?]tion
of the State Horticultural Society.
I shall be pleased to aid in securing
an appropriation for the
purpose desired. If you would
communicate with the Comm'r
of Agriculture and get him to
include such an item in his
estimate, it would materially help
the matter along.

Yours with respect,
[J Laird?]
