187- 2 - you all the above much better than I can describe it - and in less time. It is the most satisfactory mode of illustration I know of. The whole outfit costs less than $5. The plates (8") cost about $15 per 1000 for paper & printing. I obtained the materials from the Franklin Bank Note Co., 107 Liberty St. NewYork. It was a great pleasure to me to meet you & Mr. Osborn in Des Moines - and I hope I may have the pleasure of meeting you more frequently hereafter. One subject that I would have liked to have spoken to you more about - is the matter of State Entomologist - The bill introduced by Mr. Foster is a copy of the Illinois law of 1867 under which Mr. Walsh was appointed, but naming the Agr. Coll. as depository of the collections, I feel much interest in having this or some other bill as good or better go into effect. I learn from Mr. Riley that he would accept the position if it is offered to him & the salary is reasonable - not less that $2000. I don't suppose there is any one in the U.S. better qualified for the position & I hope Iowa will have the wisdom to make this appropriation (instead of the $5000 for grasshopper seed!!) Mr. Foster's bill was reported back to the senate by the Agr. Comm. adversely - & has now been referred to the Agr. College Comm. where I hope it will undergo such changes as will make it acceptable to the legislature to the Agr. Coll. & to Mr. Riley. You know what is to be done to get it through better than I do but if you can do anything more please let me know. I should like very much to learn your views upon this matter & will act with you to the best of my ability. If you wish any further information about the etching ask for it - or better make us a visit in Davenport. With best regards | 187- 2 - you all the above much better than I can describe it - and in less time. It is the most satisfactory mode of illustration I know of. The whole outfit costs less than $5.
