Dr. C. E. Bessey,
Dear sir:

I have been unable
to find specimens of [?]
B & C. or of Peronospora viticola B & C
on grape in my short stay here.

If you can spare small specimens
of each please to send them as I must
desire them to use with my class in
Fungi. I will try and return the favor.

I have found tele[?]tospores of
Puccinia [pruni-spinosae Pers.?] on
cultivate plum here at college. They
are also just forming on the Peach.
I will mail you specimens in a
few days when they appear abundantly
on the Peach.

Very truly yours,
T. L. Brunk.
