Milwaukee, January 8, 1849.

Dear Sir--

I have sent you, by Mr. Z. A. Cotton, representative
from this part of our city, a box of specimens for the proposed
cabinet of the University of Wisconsin.

I propose further to present to the University a pretty
extensive Herbarium, or collection of dried plants, about one
thousand or fifteen hundred species--embracing nearly all those
heretofore found in Wisconsin, together with others from the
United States and from Europe, provided the Regents will pay the
expense of the paper and the portfolios necessary to contain the
plants. ***

Yours truly,

I. A. Lapham.

H.A. Tenney,

Agent of the University.

Sir--

Prof. Henry has directed me to say *** that he will be
very much pleased to received from you a record of such atmospheric
phenomena as we would have desired Dr. E. S. Marsh to have made,
had he not been absent from Milwaukee. Blank forms will be sent.
We would be very glad to obtain a copy of Dr. Marsh's register
for the past year. Would it be asking too much of you to furnish
it to us?

Respectfully yours,

E. Foreman.

P.S. We have received your interesting volume on Wisconsin.
Please accept our thanks.
