Corthell, Elmer L.

Prof. Chas. E. Bessey,
Univ. of Nebraska,
Lincoln, Neb.,

Dear Sir:–

My movements are
so uncertain, or rather my business, at present, is so certain to
keep me in Washington for a while that it is impossible for me to
state when I can be at Lincoln.

Under the circumstances, it may be advisable to postpone
indefinitely the lecture about which we have had correspondence.

Yours truly,
E L Corthell
