Pierce, May 12, 1886.

Prof. C. E. Bessey,
Lincoln, Neb.

Dear Sir:

I will send you to-
morrow, a box of flowers
by express. You will
need, of course, to get them
as soon as they arrive
hence, I send this above.

I send only such as
I have never seen
in Southern Nebraska.
You may have them
all now and you may
not. [Above?] is one specimen
of the Borage family,
which I think rather
unique. The cherry
I send you is what is
called the "Sand Cherry."
There are many plants
here which I never saw
in S. N. but that may be from
a luch of investigation on my part.

Yours
A. W. [Foote?]
