Bremen, 26th May 1869. 
Dr. G. Engelmann, Berlin 
Dear friend, 
As l promised you, I shall give you some information regarding the trip from 
here to America. 
September and October are the months when the cabins of the departing 
steamers are most crowded, since that is the time when the people who went to 
the spas here are returning. It would be advisable, therefore, to book the cabin 
as soon as possible. The trip from here to England and then after staying there 
a week, does not count as one trip; however, the difference in price is rather 
minimal, namely only approximately 6 Thaler. 
Enclosed you will receive the manuscript for your perusal. In this regard 
I have to make a few remarks. 
1) In the headline, the work is called a translation; however, this is no 
longer true and shall become less so by incorporating more things; therefore, 
the title should be changed. 
2) I ask you not to include changes and addenda in the manuscript, but to 
put them on separate sheets; for this purpose, the sheets are continuously 
numbered and each sheet may be designated easily, i.e. 18, page 3. -- Only in 
such cases where I was doubtful regarding the correct wording during the transla- 
tion, I ask you to give your opinion (in pencil at the edge of the page). 
3) I believe the genera should be numbered new and continuously. 
4) Should the references to the herb. norm. be included? 
5) The preface, of course, does not apply any more in its present form 
Do you want to write a new one or should it be limited as much as possible? 
6) The similar case arises with the geographical distribution on sheet 6. 
7) I have already gone over the summary of the genera on sheet 5. Just 
as the supplements of everything entered in the second part have been entered into 
the part; in this case, however, I think it is necessary to point out those 
names in the first part which have been superseded by the second part, i. e. the 
first division of J. scirpoides as well as the designation of Juncellus etc. 
to add as notes, since otherwise the reader has no basis if he finds these names.
