Regensburg, 19th March l8V> 



Dear Doctor, 



It is a great pleasure to let you know that the plant packages which you were 

 kind enough to send to our Botanical Society during the years 1838 and 18^+5 arrived 

 here safely. Thank you for your kindness in remembering our Society even from so 

 far a distance and wish to express our joy of your enriching the herbarium of the 

 Society which you will hopefully continue to do in the future; this is an extraor- 

 dinary contribution to the plant collection of our Society which did not have 

 anything of the North American flora except what you and Mr. Riehl had sent us. 

 I hope that your efforts to study the flora there will be successful. 



I cannot end this letter as an old acquaintance from Zweibrücken without 

 expressing my happiness about the changes which you underwent in choosing a new 

 home at the banks of the Missouri. I hope that your Situation will always be 

 satisfactory so that you can enjoy your new career. As you may know, I also had a 

 change in my position in that I was appointed Professor of Natural History and 

 Gurator of the flora and my position also as a husfcand and father is of a kind 

 that I feel I have reached safely the longed for haven. 



Hoping to keep your friendship, I remain, 



Yours respectfully and obediently, 

 Your sincere friend 



Dr . Fürnrohr
