My Dear Mr. Bessey/–

We wrote to you some time since about getting
up a book on Grasses. Do you feel any more disposed to do so now. It
will afford us great pleasure to have you bring out a book on Grasses.
Indeed we are satisfied that you are the man to write such a book
for all the Western country. While Professor Beals book covers the
subject to some extent, we believe that one from you would better
serve the purpose of practical farmers. The book just brought out by
Charles L. Flint which you see announced as just brought out is
simply the old book 30 years of age, republished with new covers,
the manuscript is exactly the same. It does not fill the bill by 30
years. Now is the time for a new book; one written by you for all the
Western, Middle and Southern States. Will you not write us in reply
that we may announce you as the author of the forthcoming work?

Yours very truly,
David W. Judd,
