Prag, 20th September I882 



Dear Sir, 



Please accept my sincerest thanks for your work which you kindly sent me 

 regarding the genus Pinus, as well as the enclosures. I took the liberty to 

 send you my work about the cone sclaes in Abies and please excuse me that I 

 did not write a dedication. I am very happy to know that you also agree with 

 Braun's theory concerning the bracts. Eichler published a reply to my 'Critic* 

 which you certainly will already have in your hands, but this does not contain 

 anything new and cannot shake my judgment. I am really amazed about Eichler *s 

 shortsightedness in this case. 



I hope I have your permission to cite sometimes your information concerning 

 the question of Sequoia and Braun's part in it. 



May I make the request, dear Sir, that you publish your observations and 

 providing drawings about the abnormal cones in Sequoia? I believe this would 

 lead to a clarification among the botanists. 



I remain, 



Sincerely yours . . , BOTANICAL ^>^^-^N
