Sir:

In order that the value of the forage plants
recently imported from Russia may be determined with a greater deg—
ree of accuracy than is attainable by miscellaneous distribution,
and that the climatic influences upon the varieties referred to
may also be determined,l take pleasure in forwarding to you by to—
day’s mail such a quantity of each as will enable you to make the
needed experiments.

Thanking vou for the hearty interest you have manifested in
seconding my efforts to bring about a system of successful coopera—

tion between this Department and the Txperiment Stations,

Dr. Thomas Taylor,
Microscopist, Dep't of Agr’l..
Washington. D. 0.,
Dear Sir:
In accordance with a wish you expressed I give you the

following statement of my career as a chemist.

I am a native of Staten Island, N.Y. At the age of 12 I was
sent to Germany to attend school. I remained there four years and
then.went to Switzerland where I graduated from the High School

at the age of 18 and entered the School of Chemistry of the Poly-

technical University of Switzerland. At the expiratiOn of a three

years term I graduated and returned to this country in the year
1881. On July lst. 1882 I was appointed an Assistant Chemist at
this laboratory where I have been ever since. being promoted from a

salary of 1.000 dollars to 1,200 on July 1st. 1884.

The work carried on in this laboratory has afforded me ample
opportunity to gain a wide and varied experience in all the branches
of Agricultural Chemistry. During the five years of my c0nnection

with this laboratory 1 have worked on the chemistry of fertilizers.

 

 lfl. fi. {Depatnnmt of figtimltute,

soils. marls and general mineral_analysis. water analysis and the
analysis of dairy products such as milk. butter and imitation but—
ters etc.. sugar analysis in all its various phases. the analysis
of cereals . and the general proximate analysis of plants. foods
and food adulterants.

l have received an offer from a Louisiana sugar planter of a

position on his plantation as Chemist and for that reaSOn I should

like to have some intimation as early as possible of the intended
action of the faculty in regard to the appointmentpso'that defi—
nite arrangements can be made before the fall months. A professor—
ship would be preferable as I would not be obliged to remain un—
occupied during the greater part of the year. which would be tlw
case if employed on a Louisiana sugar plantation.

Thanking you sincerely for your kindness in this matter. 1 am.

Very truly yours
