Talleyrand Place, near
Jacksonville, Fla. April 27 1885

Prof. Chas. E. Bessey:
Dear Sir –

Thanks for your
generous patronage. I will
get your woods ready soon.
Before I am ready to saw them
to length I think there will be time
to get a card from you so you
had best write what length
you prefer – whether 12 inches or less.
I will send you some extra palm wood.
Hope you have my [Fascicles?] on this.

Yours truly
A. H. Curtis
