While those of us who know his ?/ork appreciate 
it greatly, I think that few of us can fully 
appreciate its great possihilities. The re- 
markable new field that he has opened up, the 
vast quantities of material that he has intro- 
duced, will always remain as a great epoch in 
American agriculture and horticulture. I am 
certain that future generations v/ill appreciate 
his work even more than we can today. During 
the three ?/eeks that we worked together in far 
away China ?/e became very intimate and he told 
me of his life's struggles and of some of his 
great disappointments and sorrov/s . I know that 
few people ever realized the tremendous battle 
that was raging within his soul. For this rea- 
son few people could console or comfort him. 
My prayer is, may his soul find the companion- 
ship, the rest, the comfort, and the peace 
that it so v/ell deserves. 
Private A. C. McCormick, Ordnance Supply School, Camp- 
Hancock, Co. F, Augusta, Ga., formerly of So. Oregon Station, 
July, 1918: 
Through recent news despatches I have 
noticed the sad ending of Mr. Frank N. 
Meyer in the Orient. Mr. Meyer certainly 
did splendid work in China and I knov,- 
that your Department will feel his loss 
most keenly. He made great sacrifices 
in his v/ork and it is hardly fitting his 
career should have ended thus. 
Mr. A. B. Conner, Acting Director, Texas Agricultural 
Experiment Station, College Station, July 1?, I918: 
I have your letter of July 5 relative to 
the report of Mr. Frank Meyer's death. I am 
sure it is a great loss to the whole country. 
He v;as a very likeable man, and the people 
here at College v;ho knev/ him felt a great 
his work. 
copy of your letter to 
is spending part of the 
Slimmer in Madison, Wis., and I am sure he 
will regret very much that the original 
interest in him and 
I am sending a
