Chas E. Bessey
Prof. Botany, Univ. Nebraska,
Dear Sir,

Please accept my thanks for
your very kind letter promising
articles on some
botanical subject.

It is with great diffidence
that I accede to your request
to send "suggestions as to topics
& treatment."

When I was in college
the determinative method of study
was in vogue.
