I send you a package of Chara to day. I wish to take up the study of the lower orders but my books do not give them. Will you be so kind as to advise me what books to purchase, and where I can secure them?

Prof Chas E. Bessey Dear Sir: To day I send you a mount which I think is Gloeotrichia natans I am sorry that the mount is not better but my time is so limited that I must send this on now. I think you can recognize the species from it however Have quite a number more but cannot send them at present, as they are not mounted. Yours Res. H. Hapeman

Prof. Chas. E. Bessey,
Dear Sir:
I mail to you to day a slide upon which is my first crude attempt to mount algae after the directon of Mr. Woods. I am now having very good success with them however as I have made some very fair mounts in the last two days. I think the specimen which I send to-day in Draparmaldia plumosa. I have many specimens of algae which I think are new to the state.
Some I will send as soon as I can mount them and some I have found in such a confusion of other things that with my limited experience I have been unable to separate and mount them. Among the latter Raphidium Braunii and Asterothrix lereginis
Yours Truly, H. Hapeman
