Honored Doctor! 
Please excuse me that after many years Il once again bother you with a few 
lines. 
There are three points in regard to which I which to take advantage of your 
known kindness. Firstly | wish to endorse the already twice made plea for an 
exchange of our Proceedings( the best of which is Professor Braun's installation 
lecture to the Botanical Society) for those of your Academy, and I enclose our 
last issue. Because your Academy publishes so much less than ours so can 
perhaps through this unfortunate circumstance the exchange be accomplished. 
Secondly, I must ask for your opinion regarding the Cuscuta fragments from 
Hungary which I already have sent to Prof. Braun. It is doubtful that they would 
belong to your type of C. obtusiflora as the author of the attached, by me 
translated , thesis makes clear when he instead classifies them as Stellaria 
brevifolia.var. Cesatia. _Thirdly I wish to direct your attention to the subject of my 
enclosed publication on analytical classification for which the types in USA would 
provide important material which you can easily obtain by being in the right place.
