Paris, February 26, 1^6 



My dear Sir, 



Through your letter of October 21, I leamed with great pleasure, that the misfortunes 

 ot the war had not affected you personally and that you continue being occupied in 

 your monographie research. 



Approximately 3 weeks ago, I received at the home of Mr. Bossange, addressed by 

 the Smithsonian Institute as intermediary, 3 parcels of plants, a small part of a booklet 

 and some books. 1 am sending thèse to you. I believe that you may already have 

 received this parcel however if you have not at the time when you get this letter, I ask 

 you to reclaim it from Mr. Bossange. His was addressed to the Smithsonian Institute 

 only a few days after the parcels were delivered to him. 



I have sent you everything that I had available at this time; ail the plants from France 

 and from Algeria, plus the collection of plants from the Canary Islands obtained by 

 my poor friend Monsieur de la Perrandiere. His family asked me to make thèse 

 available to you and at this time I could not refuse more than 300 Algerian species. 

 You will not be forgotten in the revision that 1 am going to make in my herbarium 

 when 1 publish the Prodromus Florae Algeriensis. You can be certain that in the 

 course of the year I will offer you a beautiful séries of Algerian plants. 



If you should have something to send me, you probably could use the same route as I 

 used from my dispatch to you. I hope you will be good enough to give me several of 

 the publications that you have made in periodical documents. Could I without being 

 indiscreet, ask you to complète the séries that 1 have already received from you: 



Systematic arrangement of the species of the genus 

 Cuseuta, St. Louis 1859. 



Two new dioecious grasses. St. Louis 1859. 



Several articles published in the transactions of the
