My Dear Dr. Bessey:
At last I have found time to write out that petition to the faculty of which we spoke. Look it over please and see if it is suitable. If there is any possibility of getting the examination here please help it out. for I think that that is the only show for me to take the degree. My work is heavy now and is quite liable to be heavier, and I think that it will be almost impossible for me to leave at that time. My own work here is getting along very well. Our microscopes are on the way. We ordered about $80 of books the other day among which are [Gnoilles], Engelmann, [stendel], Dr. Gray's papers, a set of [Lomey] Bulletin tc. Am quite proud of our botanical Library. Am also having a couple of Herb. cases & a Misc. Case made. The only drawback to my work is that I am obliged to play assistant in mathematics as well.
The board are now in session My [goss] is some money for specimens to day, and now I want to spend it. I think it best to "go in" on [Fung's] now as we are comparatively well off in other lines. Have you heard of anything good lately? and when do you order Sodow's [Undiviae]? I have mislaid my note on that. And if you have any suggestions to offer they will be thankfully rec'd. Keffer leaves all the bot. to me, and it seems necessary to be very judicious in the expending of course you know what that means. We are faring very well with the board this time considering other things, they have given us several good things
The Vermillion people are having a time The Faculty all but one & all the students but six signed a petition requesting the President to resign. but he said no and He with a committee of Faculty & Students are up here to day to lay the case before
the board of regents.
Have written Miss [Biddcicous] concerning Neb. plants & think that we may be able to get up an exchange. Give my regards to the boys. Very Resp'ly
