Department of Botany,
Aug 6 1885.

My dear Dr Vasey.

I am now buying
books for my department
here, and shall be much
obliged to you for a list
of the works on the Gramineae
which I ought to get.
I apply to you, instead of
lying upon my own impressions,
knowing that you are our
authority on grasses in this
country.

Very truly
Charles E. Bessey.
