San Francisco, August 2öth, 1869 
Dear Doctor, 
I have received your kind letter of July 5th. I am unable to explain why 
you have not heard from my father. However, I have written him again before 1 
received your letter,asked him urgently to send you the necessary amount. Since 
he has money and is always willing to do me a favor, I believe them must be 
some special circumstances if my last letter should not be successful. 
The Vitis has been collected and is awaiting your examination. Fruits 
and flowering specimens. I have not heard from Gottsche; 1 also have not 
received the promised work. 
We have been very busy this summer, made large collections. 
I was again at Lake Tahoe and on the high mountains. Believe I 
discovered several new things. 
I should like to know a German bookstore in Frankfurt am Main which would 
be willing to send me at any time the desired things. Perhaps your brother 
would give the gentleman some information concerning me. I should send from. 
month to month a small draft or every three months and make a final accounting 
at the end of the year. It is now easy to send over small amounts of money. 
There is nothing more I can say about the conifers. 
With regard to the Quercus matter I took steps to obtain the necessary 
specimens. 
I hope you have to tell me much from England concerning our conifers. 
With warmest greetings 
Your devoted friend 
Henry N. Bolander
