 In old friendship,

GOTTINGEN, 1 August 1866. 

 DEAR GOSSMANN, 



I am reproaching myself for having left your kind 

 letter of April 14 unanswered for such an unpardon- 

 ably long time. Be indulgent with me and be assured 

 that it has given me great joy, for it is always a satis- 

 faction to me to receive such proofs of true attachment 

 from my old pupils, especially when they are accom-

 photographs of yourself and your wife, thus enriching 

 my collection of pictures of those dear to me. Accept 

 my sincere thanks for them. All the members of my 

 family, who remember you very well, have also been 

 interested to see how you look now, and are glad to 

 have made your wife's acquaintance, at least through

 to whom I had to show the pictures. I may here 

 remark that the latter (Anna) is to marry a German 

 physician in London, who formerly studied here. 



I must thank you too for your various publications, 

 which I leave to others to read and report to me, not 

 being myself familiar enough with the English lan- 

 guage. I am glad to hear that you are contented 

 with your position, and hope and trust that you are
