Dear Professor

I inclose a mutilated copy of an announcement for a lecture I intend giving next Wednesday evening. Prof Trelease suggests that I send it to the Naturalist) for publication as a general article similar to Nelsons which appeared you will remember a few years ago. I did not prepare it intending to publish but could easily model it for that purpose if desireable. The article will take two or three plates for illustration. Which release says the garden will furnish should there be any trouble about it.

What do you think of such a scheme? Would a general article of such a character be worthy publication?

Respectfully
H J. Webber

We would not want to furnish the plate of course unless necessary.
