After my return I found the rabbits in my court, which I 
keep always on hand for ....zoological studies, had multiplied 
so much, that I had to give away a large number. If master 
Georz had been here he would have had a lot of fun. As I could 
not send him any, at least I thoueht of him. 
Please recommend me kindly to your dear wife, and thank 
her heartily for the friendship afforded us. 
As I do not know the address of Dr. Reuss I enclose a few 
lines for him. I want to ask him"to collect some reptils 
off the area for me. Have the offers of our fishing friends 
come true and have you already received all. Please put Ina 
good word for me sometimes. People who are not naturalists 
can hardly imagine, that one can for years hunt for one and 
the same item without zettinge tired, until one reache=s one'= 
zoal. Stay well, write to me sometimes, even’if only a few 
lines.. 
In sreatest friendship Your
