Prof. Charles E. Bessey, Ph. D.,
University of Nebraska,
Lincoln, Neb.,

Dear Sir;

You will find inclosed your recommendation,
written about a year ago, of Prof. J. C. G[?],
to De P[?] University, for the degree of Ph. D. When our
plans of last year were all made ready, we found that
De P[?] University had determined to whom this
degree would be given. We have decided to apply this
year, for the same degree for him, but have not selected
the college. You will confer a favor by writing a
general recommendation of Prof. G[?], for such a
degree, somewhat n the form of the one inclosed,
addressed to no institution. Prof. G[?]'s work
still continues eminently successful.

Very respectfully yours
E. A. Snyder
