Dear Mr. Engelmann, 
| found your nice letter on my return from a trip to Italy, where | was for 1 month. | hurry 
to answer it. | will be able to send you the part of the Flora Orientalis that has the 
Cuscuta, and in the fall | will be happy to send you the other portions of the Flora 
Orientalis, that may be of interest to you. 
You will find nothing new among the Cuscuta, among which there are not many 
changes. | have followed your excellent work and thank you so much if you would be so 
kind to send me your work on the Quercus. | have as yet not sudied this gender and the 
thought of doing it gives me pleasure. It is sometimes not possible to know them only by 
studying the samples or sometimes only the flowers. | payed much attention to your 
description of the stylus. 
| received with great interest the new specimens of the Euphorbia that you so kindly 
have sent me. | will soon be receiving some more samples of the Flora Orientalis and | 
will be delighted to place them in the collection of my herbarium. Since my work on the 
Euphorbia | have received some more samples for my herbarium. 
My health, thank God, is very good. | hope that | will be able to continue with my 
scientific work which | have been doing now for many years. 
Many kind regards to you always. 
E. Boissier.
