Directions for Sending Insects

Washington, D. C., Feb. 3rd, 1879

My dear Prof. Bessey

The half price of engraving (which is the rate at which I sell electrotypes) of the cuts you want would come to just $85.00. I will be as liberal with you as I can, and will sell you the cuts for the seven more important species for the $40.00 you speak of. This will include three cuts of Pieris rapae, one of Tortrix cinderana, three of
Orgyia leucostigma, one of Carpocapsa pomonella, one of Hyphantria textor, two of Anisopteryx [oernata?], and one of Clisiocampa americana, I will send them by express just as soon as I get the electrotypes made, and I enclose bills therefore made out according to your request

Sincerely Yours
