Prof. C. E. Bessey,
Dear Sir:

Do you happen to remember
a little book by Lucien M. Underwood
entitled "Our Native Ferns
and their Allies", published in
1882 and said to have been
reviewed favorably by you in
the American Naturalist? It has
been out of print since 1882 and
is now offered to us for republication.
Will you kindly tell us, if you
do remember the book, whether
you think it is worthy of being brough
before the public again, and whether
