(1903)

Omaha, March 12, 1903.

Dear Wolcott:

I want to say a whole lot in a few words, as my time is very
limited.

First, where shall I send for about 800 square inches of that yucca
pith for insect boxes?  Have had two dozen 5 x 9 x 2 made out of cedar,
and want to get ready for the contents-to-be.  Also, what should I pay
for it, and is it madein thinner sections than that you furnished me?

Next, as to Cherry County.  I am planning to go, and chances are
good--so good that I wish to begin something definite as to obtaining
leave of absence.  Do you know when, or whether, you can go, and at
about what date--within two weeks of the time, say?  I do not think it
advisable to plan for more than two weeks, as I can not well be spared
from the office longer; if I get that I will be contented.  But it all
depend on you; if you can not go I do not care to try it alone.

Everything going nicely here.  Have not got out yet, but in two or
three weeks will begin the trips to the Point.
With best wishes, I remain

Yours very truly,

#433 Omaha National Bank Bldg.
