Dear Doctor, 
I received your kind letter several days ago. Thank you for the photography - - 
now I know where I stand. Again, many thanks. 
Also the grasses arrived finally and, for the most part, are already filed. 
I thank you very much. Many I had never seen before. 
I sent you Junci twice and once an oak -- also the notes on Juncus together 
with Gabb's notices about P. aristata. The specimen will go today with this letter 
and I hope it arrives in good condition. 
I wish you would finally decide on the contents of my box: 
If you get 487 species of my plants, they are probably all the species there 
are. Should something good be missing, I might be able to send it later. 
Compare yours with the list and let me know the gaps, 
I shall try to suppress that kind of delicacy: 
Now my anger about the old gentleman Dr. Torrey is not very serious. 1 
hope you will be satisfied with the notes about the Junci. I know more could be 
done, but God knows where to get the time. 
I am almost afraid Dr. Parry will not be able to do much, maybe not even 
go through Arizona. 
So you are going to Europe! Good: That should close the matter of the pine. 
Please look up P. Balfourniana! Don't forget the oaks. Well, you will know 
better than I, since 1 do not do determining. 
Maybe I shall get some more ideas. I don't have any special requests to make now. 
You will hardly go to Schlächten. But should you go, you will find my Zather 
and uncle there. The latter lived for twenty years at the Italian court as tutoz 
for the princes. You would like him if old age has not done too much to him. 
Dr. Bernstein is living in Steinau. Perhaps you will see Dr. Hooker, Lenormand, 
Braun, De Candolle, Boissier. Many warm greetings to them. I have packed a large 
box for De Candolle and Boissier--it will leave in a few days. There is also 
something for Lenormand in it. 
Dr. Kellogg is expected to arrive any day. His new small Juncus shall not 
escape us. 
Please write soon again. 
Your devoted friend, 
Henry Bolander
