This letter is signed "M S Bebb" - Michael Schuck Bebb was a 19th century American botanist. This is the last page of the letter - first page(s) missing so the date is unknown, but it was probably addressed to Robert Kennicott, and would have likely been written before 1861 when Bebb left Winnebago County, IL to move to Washington DC.
