Dear Sir:- 
Your favor of 24th March duly to hand. We sent you memoran- 
dum of 201 varieties and as there were three specimens to each variety 
it made over 800 specimens. 
I have another memorandum, which was neglected in forwarding 
you the list, to which are added 59 varieties ( additional to what I 
have sent you), and 126 specimens these 59 varieties. 
It makes a great difference whether you are figuring on 201 
specimens, or whether you are figuring on 600 specimens, and 201 varie- 
ties . 
If you wish the 201 varieties of 600 specimens, without the 
ca.se and without printing, packed ready for shipment wherever you may 
direct, you can have them for $250. If you wish the 59 varieties addi- 
tional, without the case and without printing, you may have them for 
$325. 
In regard to the great expense which has attended the gettijg 
up of the Jesup Collection of Woods would say, that there has been 
uaid out over $8,000 in cash at this end, ^besides the utilizing of my 
machinery and an immense amount of experiment* and experience 
and for which there has been no return of more than $500. to $600. We 
think we come in for our proportion of the cost of preparing this col- 
lection 
Very truly yours, 
Dictated.
