Dear Sir -
I am in receipt of yours of 2nd inst-
Today I received a note from Mr. [Henry St] Vail (individual) in regard to what may be done -
He is convinced of the approval of botanists in issuing an edition of Gray's "Manual" in flexible form and has ordered an estimate of such made - And that he shall know in a few days what can be done with it "If I find the scheme practicable the company will make announcement at once" "On seeing Forrest's Edition of Coulter's 'Manual' I see why that failed of success."
Judging from this personal view by the managing editor of the Am. Book Co
2
a little more effective work now will secure the use sought.
If issued I presume it will be made to accord with the needs of botanists and will be given to us with narrow [ ] as well as outer [niasguis]
I thank you for the cordial reception of my note.
Yours Very Truly
