Dear Friend, 



Unfortunately, I did not see your friend Dr. Baumgarten since he missed 

 me and when I went to see him, he had not returned and was leaving in the 

 evening. My best thanks for your publications which I received safely. Since 

 you continue to work on conifers and are asking about Pinus pumlilio (in 

 your letter which I received through Braun), I am sending you under separate 

 cover a small work of mine on Krummholzpflanzen on which I had worked a 

 great deal during the last years. Are there species in America which grow 

 as a tree as well as Krummholz? as is shown in P. pummilio ? My pinus druic (k) 

 and called by Dr. Hooker P. excelsa from the Himalayan. Boissier considers 

 both of them different. I have not yet received any material of P. excelsa , 

 but am expecting it. I am enclosing a few leaves of P. druic (*f) 



After finishing the most important new things, I am now beginning an 

 enumeratio plantarum cubensum based on Wright f s material which will contain 

 many new things. Prof. Stephen from Newhaven who is here now is thinking 

 there might be no Solution to your war, after he was so optimistic last 

 year. I don't foresee any bad prospects for Germany. 



In true friendship, 

 A. Grisebach
