TRANSLATION 
Dear Doctor, 
May I have your permission to impose on you with some questions? Since they 
regard scientific objects, I hope you will excuse my request. 
Lately, I have been working on an Index criticus AliSmacearum which should 
be similarly arranged as the Index of the Juncaceae, which I recently sent you 
as printed matter. Now, I am lacking statements concerning some of the American 
plants as far as the original locations are concerned and I should appreciate 
it if you could give me these. Should there be plants involved which you 
yourself described, I should, of course, appreciate it if you could send me a 
separate of your work. 
In order to make it easier for you, I wrote my questions on a separate 
sheet and in such an order that you just have to write down the expected answers. 
I am very curious to receive the end of your Juncus work and hope to 
receive it soon. I hope you will make us all happy with it. 
I am enclosing a short paper I wrote concerning two new Juncus species 
of the Himalayas, in case the weight of the letter permits it, otherwise I 
shall send it under separate cover. 
I remain with great respect, 
Your obedient 
Dr. Fr. Buchenau
