JET. 68.] TO GEORGE ENGELMANN. 589 



sight-seeing, . . . and a lot of botanists and gar- 

 dens, etc., you want to see on your own hook. So 

 you will excuse all curtness in letters. . . . 



At Munich we saw, of course, much of Madame de 

 Martius, 1 a sweet, good soul, deeply grieved by 

 the loss of her husband, and yet bears up bravely. 

 And we learned many interesting things about good 

 Martius. Notices of Martius' death were sent, as 

 usual, to all friends. . . . 



llth. Nuremberg is a queer old place indeed. We 

 have nearly twenty-four hours here, and go on the way 

 to Dresden to-day. 



TO GEORGE ENGELMANN. 



DRESDEN, June 13, 1869. 



I '11 tell you what our plans are at present. To 

 stay here till Friday noon, the 18th ; Mrs. G. to be 

 very quiet, as she cares mainly to see the gallery and 

 enjoy it leisurely. On Tuesday, I, with the young 

 ladies, go up to Freiberg to visit the celebrated mining 

 school, etc., and on return next day, to see the Forst- 

 Akademie at Tharand. Friday night all to Toplitz, 

 to pass two days with a friend, - - the Sunday's rest. 

 Monday to Prague, Tuesday to Regensburg, Wednes- 

 day or Thursday to Munich, and Saturday evening to 

 be at Ragatz (or Pfeffers). Soon after at least Mrs. 

 G. and I will be settled for a while at Geneva. 



HOTEL BYRON, VILLENEUVE, July 15, 1869. 



. . . Boissier has been seriously sick with a pleurisy, 

 etc. ; is at Orbe, or was. If still there I should go to 

 see him ; but he has now gone to Gries, in Appenzell, 

 to a bathing-place, and I shall not see him. . . . 



1 Von Martius died in March, 1869.
