O.Heer 



reach you. I selected some flowers and strains which are easily hand-picked 

 Those in the smaller box are from Oensiger, the others from Haute-Rhone. The 

 latter belong to our lower Boden- lake the first to the upper part of the lake. 

 I hope they will get to your hands in good condition. 



I received a collection of plants from our colleague Meyer in St. Louis some time 

 ago and now we have an almost complete collection of trees and bushes from 

 the north-American Flora and I am prepared to buy more. 



I hope this epistle will reach you in Frankfurt. 



I remain yours 

 respectfully
