Most Honored i*'riend 



r probably gave already notiCe to you about the receipt of 

 your shipments.The dissertation about Pinus gave me the opportunity/ 

 of a rather extensive reference in one of our f orestr;$r ; publications,. 

 which should be printed right away unless this has not been done al- 

 ready*Actual iy I appraoch you today with the request of a smallt note, 

 which you may be able to provide without much trouble. You,surely, 

 know the Mr. Eggert, who lives there or has lived there.from whoa- I 

 obtained in the recent years all kinds of nice plants of the Missou- 

 ri Flora - as it seems, properly identified. He offered me last spring* 

 a collection of kOO Oregon plants, who* se ca^talog was promised by Gates,, 

 at a relatively low price..I answered hira tnen.that I wanted to aquire 

 these plants, if they would meet normal Standards of herbariunr speci- 

 mens in relation to insrructlve conditions, , which I would ieave to his 

 judgement. Since tnen, I have no communication in this matter. Eggert 

 does not let hear of hinmsand, may-be, he moved from St. Louis. I would 

 like to know, if this collectiorr was taken along or not. Eitner wouldr 

 be all right; in one case I could wait for shipment until the occasoin 

 offers itseif ; in the other case I could consider to think ce^tainly 

 of another acquisitlom But, I should have news#. But, inpase Eggert 

 should still bt there, I would ask you,to motivate hinr to a related, 

 notif ication. .Should I addjbess this letter to him in person, it may, 

 in view of the above possibilitie s, not reach him at alli, and I would 



wounas, wnich the last y^ars you, continue to heal t ann remairr 



with friendly greetings to your son, Your devoted
