Dear Doctor, 
I just received your letter of March 15th. Your last letter I answered 
immediately, but sent to Dr. Gray's address as you wanted me to do. 
I agreed with Dr. Panz. According to his opinion, I do not have to change 
my opinions concerning the observations of California conifers; he is of the 
same opinion, even with regard to edulis and monopliylla. But you will talk to 
him yourself. The Junci will be obtained since I am going to Mendocino to my 
Juncus. 
In my last letter I wrote you about my new project. Now, I am asking you 
urgently to get as many orders for me as you can and to recommend me to your 
botanist friends, since the survey was not entirely stopped and any botanical 
research will almost entirely depend on me. It is a wide and large field and, 
without doubt, very much remains to be done. We intend to deliver seeds, bulbs, 
dried plants of every kind. Perhaps you could help me establish a chain of 
connections. The more you can help me in this respect, the more new material 
I could send you. 
If I were as rich in money as I am in children, I would not have to 
make this request. I would do it on my own. 
I am curious to see the Junci. Kellogg received your letter. My conifers 
arrived at Gray's. Just let me know what interests you, I shall obtain it. 
How long will you be away? Perhaps you could bring me a microscope. In this 
case I would not have to pay duty on it. My father would send you the necessary 
money. Since Mr. Alex Braun works very much with instruments, he could perhaps 
make the selection. 
More about it in my letter which you will find at Professor Braun's. 
A happy voyage. Let me also hear from Germany. 
Dr. Kellogg has a good drawing of the cone of the Coulteri, the same 
as you will find in the London museum. 
With. best wishes 
Your devoted 
Henry N. Bolander
