the Flora ofyour large home country is so huge that my collection will never even 

 come dose to completion. In addition Mr. Flügel has been kind enough to 

 assume financial responsibility for the transport back and forth of plants, thereby 

 obviating the cost of transportation, and I trust with your kindness that I may look 

 forward to the fulfillment ofmy most intense wishes. Correspondence with me 

 can be carried out in German, French, English or Spanish as you wish . 

 Please accept, my dear Sir, my expressions of the highest regard 



K. Keck
