Dear Sir -
I am in receipt of yours of 2nd inst-
Today I received a note from Mr. Henry H Vail (individual) in regard to what may be done
He is convinced of the approval of botanists in issuing an edition of Gray's "Manual" in flexible form and has ordered an estimate of such made - And that he shall know in a few days what can be done with it "If I find the scheme practicable the company will make announcement at once" "On seeing Forrest's Edition of Coulter's 'Manual' I see why that failed of success."
Judging from this personal view by the managing editor of the Am. Book Co
2
a little more effective work now will secure the use sought.
If issued I presume it will be made to accord with the needs of botanists and will be given to us with narrow [ ] as well as outer [niasguis]
I thank you for the cordial reception of my note.
Yours Very Truly
