United States Senate, WASHINGTON, D. C. Jany 23d, 1888
Prof. Chas E Bessey, (University) Lincoln Neb. My Dear Sir Your letter of Jan 19th/88 in regard to item in Deficiency bill for agricultural Exp. stations was received. The bill has passed the House and will doubtless pass the Senate this week and become a law probably. The delay of course was owing to the neglect of the Democratic House to have the Deficiency bill ready for action last [ ] Very Truly Yours Chas F Manderson

Prof. C. E. Bessey, Ames Iowa Dear Sir:
Yr favor of the 21st came to hand in class time.
It will give me great pleasure to exchange botanical specimens with you and at an early day will send you a list of the species I have for this purpose. My Collection consists of local specimens- Middle and Northern Alabama.
I would be pleased to receive a list of your specimens - I wish to file it away for reference.
I am under many obligations for the paper on "The Erysiphei." I have read it with great interest as I have examined some what in this branch myself - but not very extensively.
Yrs Very Truly,
P. H. Mell Jr.
