Answer to Bessey's letter of 14 May 1891
Letterpress books May 20,

Prof. C. E. Bessey,

Lincoln, Nebraska.

My dear Sir:

Your letter of the fourteenth inst. is at hand and is perfectly satisfictory. Prof. Wilietts is absent for this week but will return early next week and then Mr.Rydberg's commission will be issued to begin the twelvth of June. We will send him some vouchers on which he will make out his charge(or he will perhaps prepare that) and he will send them in once a month, or in/his case as only part of a month will occur in June, he can wait until the first of July and then send in the vouchers to cover both months. He can do as is most convonient to him. He must inform us where his check is to be sent. He will have to advance his own funds until he gets return for his vouchers. The routs you indicute appears to be a good one and I hope will furnish many good things.

Respectfully,
Geo. Vasey
Botanist.
