Dear Doctor, 



I just received your letter of the 6th and the enclosed 5 dollar note suprised me 

 very much. Many thanks, also for the meteorological observations from which I see that 

 you had again a rather peculiar winter. The difference between the max, and min. 

 temperature for January amounts to 71.5 degreesj It was not so bad here, all in all, 

 January was rather mild. 



I shall pay attention to the cacti; you recommended that I study the cacti, but 

 did not mention whether I should send you living specimens and if so, how many of each 

 species. 



I am very busy packing and have many things to do to get ready for my departure. 

 Four heavy boxes packed full with books and plants will be ready for shipment in a few 

 days. 



Cordially, 

 A. Fendler
