Washington, D. C. Feb. 25th
1886.

Prof. Chas E. Bessey
My dear Sir:

Many thanks for your favor
of the 20th inst. and enclosures.
Your resolution from the Nebraska
Hort. Socy. has been sent to
Mr. Hatch, chairman of the Comm.
on Agriculture.

Everything will come out all
right, I think.

The memorial sent you has
not met with the [sic.] approval
of all the committee, but, judging
from present appearances its use
will not be required.

Yours very truly
F. Lawson Scribner
