Answer to Bessey's letter of 14 May 1891
Letterpress books May 20,

Prof. C.E. Bessey,

Lincoln, Nebraska.

My dear Sir:

Your letter of the fourteenth inst. is at hand and
is perfectly satiafactory. Prof. Willetts is absent for this week
but will return early next week and then Mr.Rydberg's comission
will be issued to begin the twelvth of June. We will send him
some vouchers on which he will make out his charge (or he will
perhaps prepare that) and he will send them in once a month, or in his
case as only part of a month will occur in June, he can wait until
the first of July and then send in the vouchers to cover both
months. He can do as is most convenient to him. He must inform
us where his check is to be sent. He will have to advance his
own funds until he gets return for his vouchers. The route you indicate appears to be a good one and I hope will furnish many good things.

Respectfully,
Geo. Vasey
Botanist
