My Dear Dr. Bessey:-
I am glad to learn that you will send me your photo-
graph for use in the American Agriculturist. On the inside
page of this you will find a preliminary prospectus of how we in-
tend to celebrate the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the American
Agriculturist. I am endeavoring to interest in this undertal-
ing all those who have been instrumental in developing this Jour-
nal, and would like very much to receive communications from all
persons who have at any time been regular contributors. May I
count on you for one? If so, on what subject would you prefer
to write. Of course the scope of the entertainment excludes
long magazine essays. Any suggestions in this regard will be
thankfully received by
Yours sincerely,
