LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



(J. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Division of Entomology, 

 Washington, D. C, January ->U 1903. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit the manuscript of a bulletin 

 which has been prepared under my direction by Miss Henrietta Aiken 

 Kelly, a special agent of this Division, and which treats of the culture 

 of the mulberry silkworm in a plain yet complete way. It is intended 

 to distribute it among persons who wish to begin the culture of the 

 mulberry silkworm in different parts of the United States. I recom- 

 mend that this manuscript be published as Bulletin No. 39, new series, 

 of this Division. 



Respectfully, L. O. Howard, 



Entomologist. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture,
