very busy - I desire to get a flora of Nebraska if one is published, and a list of the twenty worst weeds for Lincoln and its vicinity. Then two desires may be met at once if you can check off from the Neb. flora the weeds beginning with one (1} for the worst and so on - I should like a full list of the common names for each species Any additional notes as to prevalence, persistency and eradication, etc. will be gladly received and and fully credited.

After a time I may impose upon you further by providing you a list of printed questions upon American weeds native and introduced, I am anxious to get as many local lists or floras as possible.

This winter we remain here I hope to enjoy a quiet season with kind regards from Mrs Halsted and myself to you all I am
Yours sincerly

Byron D. Halsted

P.S. I noted that 1 time 1876 we [dent] had this article you mentioned.
