Omaha, Neb., Oct. 13, 1905.

Dear Wolcott:

Deuce violent (D.V.) I shall come to Lincoln tomorrow p.m., arriving
4:35 or 5:30, returning Sunday evening. Sorry I could not let you know
earlier, but ascertained possibility of doing so not ten minutes ago.
Will depend on you for nets and bottles, and hope you will have a nice
herd of fulgida and togata rounded up on the Basin. If it is too late, ^for them[?]
we may manage to put in the time somehow!

Your friend, in a deuce of a hurry,
