Dear Friend, 



Togefcher with this you will receive the promised plants, hopefully in good 

 condition and to your satisfaction: there are 22k species from the Pyrenees, 

 Spain and some from Algier; the ones from the Pyrenees were mostly collected by 

 myself and the Spanish ones were collected by in Paris. I also 



included a few copies of my Annual Report: the one for l8W has already been 

 printed but still is not in my hands. With regard to the American literature, you 

 will probably find gaps and I hope you will enlighten me in this respect as you 

 did in your kind letter of February ljth, also, I hope, you will draw the attention 

 of botanists there to these reports so that they might be interested in sending me 

 separates of their works to be included in these Reports.— You will probably know 

 that Braun went from Glessen to Berlin to take over Link's position. This for your 

 Information since you intended to enclose a package for me in your shipment to him.... 



I never received the M Fendleriana nor the M. Lindheimerianae . I 



only received your interesting appendix to Wislizenus and have reviewed it exten- 

 sively in the Report for 1848. Unfortunately I could not include your corrections. 

 ...We have bought here Gray's large work on the genera of North American plants 

 and I studied with great interest the second volume. Unfortunately, the first 

 has not arrived yet. ... 



We are beginning to start living our usual life here in Germany even though 

 the whole world believes that the peace won't last long. For us botanists, at least, 

 it is good that the publishers have recovered. I am now doing my last work on the 

 Hungarian Hieracium and at the same time begin to study the Russian grasses which 

 I took over from Lachhus. 



I hope you are well and send you my best wishes. 



Yours ,
