Prof. C. E. Bessey,

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 24th [?] [hand.]?

Mr Readhead, of R & W. called on us to-day and ordered 40 copies of your Botany.

We are [hurring]? the book all we can, but won't be able to ship any of them before next week.

A sample copy will be sent to you from the very first box that we get in.

Respectfully Yours,
