2 [?]earwell Place,
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 13, 1887.

Prof C. E. Bessey:
Dear Sir,

Will you kindly
inform me if convenient, what
[?] injury & [?] by [?]
has been especially heavy or
light in any given regions
and if you think there is any
definite selection between the
prevalence of [?] and the
amount of rain fall? Might
heavy rain fall early in season and
a dry time later produce an effect
essentially different from the reverse of [two?]?

If you can reply without to greatly taxing
your time, I shall be greatly obliged.

Respectfully yours,
A. B. Seymour.
