laboratory this winter and I know him to be an excel- 

 lent young man. He will tell you what brings him to 

 America and also all that has happened here. Kindly 

 see that he has an opportunity to meet the Messrs. 

 Eastwick, Booth, Garrigues, etc. I hope that you are 

 doing well and that you have received my letter of 

 January 3. Your preliminary communication on the 

 sugar plant was long ago printed in the Annalen. My 

 best greetings to the Messrs. Eastwick and other 

 friends. Pardon the shortness of this letter, which I 

 am obliged to write in a hurry, as Stephani is about to 

 depart. 



In best friendship, 



Your 



WOHLEB. 



GOTTINGEN, 31 Oct. 1858. 

 DEAR DOCTOR, 



I am ashamed of myself for not having answered ere 

 this your kind and very interesting letter of August 1. 

 I received it at Karlsruhe, where I had gone from 

 Miinchen with Liebig in order to attend the meeting of 

 Naturalists. 1 It proved to be a brilliant success and 

 was attended by nearly all the chemists of Germany. 

 Kuhlmann from Lille, Despretz, Nickles, Grandeau, 

 Troost from Paris were there. From here besides my- 

 self were Limpricht and Wicke (also Dr. Spiegelberg 

 and the troublesome Bialloblotzky). 



I have read with pleasure what you say about 

 North America and its people, and also let Liebig read
