118 CHARLES ANTHONY GOESSMANN 



Farewell. Remember me to the Eastwicks and to all 

 the friends, and let me hear from you very soon. When 

 you see Mr. Booth, tell him that a little more osmium- 

 iridium, in which he is so rich, would be very welcome 

 to me. No doubt an opportunity will present itself so 

 it can be sent here. 



Cordially your 



WOHLER. 



GOTTINGEN, 12 March 1860. 

 DEAR GOSSMANN, 



First of all, my hearty thanks for your very full and 

 interesting letter of January 24, for the pieces of 

 graphite and the extraordinarily fine photographs, all 

 of which have made the long voyage successfully and 

 reached me safely. It is a great satisfaction to know 

 that one is not being forgotten by old pupils and 

 friends, and to receive from them so many tokens of 

 attachment, and that you are one of them. 



It gives me peculiar pleasure also to know that all 

 goes well with you, that you are contented in your 

 interesting surroundings and that you have so many 

 opportunities to see great and remarkable things, to 

 know the world and to gather experiences which will 

 be of the greatest advantage to you in the future. I 

 envy you your good fortune in having made such a 

 fine voyage. 1 I have also shown your letter to Hofr. 

 Wagner, Waltershausen, Geuther and my own family, 

 and all have read it with great interest. It is striking 

 what an array of new impressions one may receive in 



1 To the West Indies.
