Dear Doctor, 



Many thanks for your notes on Agave which I received in January. Since I 

 wrote my last letter to you I have been in rather good health and am very happy 

 to have escaped any attacks of rheumatism during the last winter. 



Wilmington has a rather bood public library and reading rom which I use since 

 January 1st and for which I paid $ 5 per year. They don't have any strictly 

 scientific works, however, I find much which interests me. 



Since January 1st I began again stxtkxMjc to make meteorological observations; 

 thermometer, amount of rain, cloudiness and wind directions and will let you know 

 the results for the last three months. In order to compare the climate of St. Louis 

 with that of Wilmington* I ask you to send me the results of your observations for 

 the same time, i.e. for January, February and March. 



Cordially yours, 



A. Fendler
