Ans Feby 18, '88

Lincoln, Neb. Feb 6 1888.
My Dear Dr. Vasey
I have just written to Commissioner Coleman asking for Electrotypes of Plates 11, 12, 36, 53, 89, 95, 99, 107, 115, 117 - from your "Agr'l frame of U. S."
I trust that you can forward the matter. If you know of a good plate of Agropyrum glaucum I wish you would add it to my list.
Should like the electrotypes by the 20h or 22d if possible.
Very truly
Charles E. Bessey
