Transcribe Bessey, Charles Edwin. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1874-09-22)

am compelled to take the ^part of the^ "well wisher", instead of the "well </u doer>", and am like the man who said "be ye warmed and fed", instead of warming and feeding. I hope you will look upon me as taking these parts through compulsion, and not from choice.

     I trust that the funds may

be forthcoming from some source so that the expedition may go on.

     Should anything occur to change the

condition of things, soon enough to help the expedition I will write you immediately. Believe me As ever Yours very truly C. E. Bessey [Charles Edwin Bessey.]
