Prof. C [A?] Bessey
Dear Sir,

We have just recd the
January no of the American
Naturalist in which you so
courteously notice the Journal of
the Society. As however we have
not received any others of later date
it is giving use to some anxiety
among our staff – as they formerly
came in much earlier and as Prof.
Packard has now been replaced by
yourself [?] I ask your co-operation
in securing us early copies lest our
Committee should stop exchanges

as they sometimes do when date of
issue & reception are too far apart. As
I am sure some misunderstanding is the
most likely cause. Should be sorry
for it to be [?] into [?]
on boths ides.

[Asking?] you in anticipation
I am Dear Sir
Yours very truly
James West.
