My dear Sir

[Please?] to accept my best
[?] for your Botany. It astonishes
me that you have been able to take
so wide a view, at this day of
special studies. There is but one defect
that I notice in the book – + that is
that your publisher has used such [heavy? / leady? / heady?]
paper. But I am a specialist –
+ I can but hope to learn of you in
regard to the larger part of the
volume, + hope to do so.

Should anything occur to me in
regard to matters with which I
am familiar, it will give me
pleasure to communicate it.

Truly yours
[?] [?]

Prof. Bessey.
