My Dear Prof. Bessey: For several years I have been collecting negatives of our American forest Trees to make lantern slides for illustration of all American Forest trees. I do not know whether you care to have anything in that line, but if you do I shall be glad to have you a sett made here in our photographic gallery at actual Cost to me. That is just what I pay the photographer 50 cts a slide. I find them very satisfactory Some other institutions have specfied a desire to have them and I thought you might possibly be of the number. There are in all about 100 slides. Most of them [fr ] My trees Negatives. Some are very fine. and none bad. Very Truly Yours, J. T. Rothrock

My dear Prof. Bessey,
I acknowledge with many thanks the receipt of your very excellent pamphlet on the Grasses and Forage Plants of Nebraska.
On pg. 12. You speak of Andropogon Saccharoides [Sm] I did not know that this species extended so far north. I would be very glad to have a specimen of this species from Your State. I have it from Colorado.
Yours very truly,
