Most honored sir, 



I should have thanked you a long time ago for all the kind and selfless care you 

 have freely given to Miss Benderer. You know me from earlier days and have 

 given me much pleasure with your treatise which completed my rather 

 incomplete work on the westameican Sinus species. Please accept my heartfelt 

 thanks. 



As gratitude I only have an old plant geography paper to send which I 

 would have written differently now but it might still be of some interest to you. 



I enclose my photograph and look forward to receiving one ofyou as 

 chances are minimal that we will meet in person. 



With friendly greeting and heartfelt thanks 



D. Christ
