Dear Engelmann, 
In all the hurry I was not able to obtain other 
specimenstoday. I enclose simply a few lines for Humboldt, 
with the request that you will forward the book and these 
lines as fast as possible to him, When you arrive in Berlin 
you will have to write a few lines to him to accomplish a 
meeting with him. He only receives visitors after such for. 
malities to remain in charge of his time, 
Again a happy trip and heartiest greetings to 
Your Agassiz
