My Dear Doctor Vasey,
I have yours of the 16thh inst. and hasten to reply;
My assistant, Mr. Herbert J. Webber, is at work in the Marine Biolog-

examination at that place?
I have two other good men who are available ; they are Mr. T. A.
Williams, of Weeping Water, Nebr., and Mr. A. F. Woods, of Lincoln.
Either one would render you most excellent service, and I should be
glad to have them considered candidates for the position.
Very truly Yours,
Charles E. Bessey
Both these men may be addressed at Lincoln for the present, in my care.
