Dear Mr. Engelmann, 
Ï received your kind letter of the 19 of June. The brochures that you talked about did not arrive. I 
regret this very much, because I really needed your comments on the Yucca. 
I also regret not having been able to communicate with you about the only species that I find in 
its natural form in the Indian Archives with Mr. Merkusis; I also did not find a single cutting. 
Ï would appreciate it if you could send me samples of the wild American plants. They will arrive 
exactly at the time when we are studying them with the greatest of interest. 
Please, Sir, accept the most cordial salutations from your devout 
O. Beccari
