we had not yet unpacked, and now we see of course that a lot is 
missing; I was of the opinion, that all loose items had been packed. 
I therefor ask now, that all thatlthere is of mine, be packed 
into a case and expedited via Hamburg per steamer to N. York and, 
that it shall be sent from there to me. A shippine company in Berlin 
(possibly Warmuth & Friedrich,which tookkcare of mine and George's 
affairs) may be the best and nearest) to whom you transfer the case, 
and they will handle all formalities and charge for expenses.

How sad am I, to cause new problens to you very busy man and 
to rob the time ‚which belonses to the Charae. 
The Leop.Carolian affairs were already in motion when I was 
Beılı in BDeriin, tut I did not hsar anything of it, but all that you 
reported about it at various times,berszed the question. Did R. him - 
self become president, subseauitur, etc ?. However a fine unity seens 
to rule now. Why is the now elected president from Hamburg ? Or, rather, 
what brousht him the honor ? 
I received at the time an announcement of my acceptance, also 
later the diploma, but I must say, that I did not like this, that 
Schultz nominated me without first askinz me,..Thus I kind of ignored 
the matter, never gave an answer. Shall I let it go at that,or shall I 
still act? They demand all kinds of formalities, a curriculum vitae, 
ee too complicated for me. I never got to it, 
to talk to you about it, | 
Najas and Podocarpus were of great interest to me - specially 
the latter.But what is that scar (I am not certain about the German 
word, E.D.) on the ovulum ? And the axes follow the axis of Najas and 
Casumania, How can this be brousht into harmony with earlier views ?
