which I so longed for. Ifyou had only come via Torino I could easily have sought you 

 out there.. To Genova can I at this time not come- and to follow you to America is 

 truly beyond the limits of probability-so I must have patience but that is liard on me. 

 I will attempt to send to you in Frankfurt a sampling ofour select Speeles which at 

 least can serve you well in exchange with other like minded botanists. 



Be a thousand times well, you wicked but nevertheless appreciated 

 man; with true regards 



Yours affectionately
