Leipziger,Platz 14, 
Dear Sir, 
I shall send you today the things you requested. It is just a 
short paper; however, the subject is interesting; my paper will not 
interfere with your strict scientific research =nd I honestly believe 
that it is too unimportant to be of interest to you, otherwise I should 
— have sent it earlier. In any event, it belongs to the literature concerning 
& the new Latanga ? (or Latalgen? in following letter) and I assume that now 
such an excellent and thorough observer as yourself will acknowledge them. 
I myself do not know much more concerning this species as given in references from 
American sources. Naturally, I am very happy to learn more from you soon. 
Until the leaves started to fall, the young samples of C, speciosa reached 
a height of 2' and a little bit more. My interest in the knowledge of trees, 
especially of North American trees is very great. Therefore, anything you 
publish concerning this subject finds an avid reader in myself and if you 
should have the kindness to make these publications available to me, they 
will be much appreciated. The Dendrologie of Korch's is soon out of print. 
There is a demand that now I should publish it, which, however, would require 
a total revision. Maybe I shall decide to do it, however, nothing more today. 
Only warmest greetings and asking for your continuo® kindness; We are 
missing nobody more here than your and my late friend Prof. A. Braun; since he 
was taken away from us, the botany in Berlin is melting away as a fromage 
de Brie. Ascherson is spending the winter in Egypt. 
Greetings, 
Carl Bolle
