Dear Sir,

We can pay you five hundred and ten dollars for the Harvey Herbarium, that is at
the rate of Three cents per species. Foreign herbaria are often sold in this country for less than that. Let me know soon your decision, as we have another
collection in view.

Very truly,

Charles E. Bessey.
