the northern provinces . Had I but known that you wanted something spectacular 

 among upper Italian ferns I would undoubtedly have shared some ofmy plants with 

 you so that you would have had something satisfactory for later scientific 

 comparison. 



And now take well care of yourself and accept a mental but nevertheless 

 hearty handshake with thousand of wishes for a successfui trip home from 

 Your most affectionate 

 Vincenzo Cesati 



PS. As you can see I got the inner corner of the paper stuck. Not intentionally Ifyou 

 should happen to go back to Germany via Milan I beg ofyou to keep the attached 

 as a memory ofme. I can unfortunately not offer you any from here 



Yours Cesati
