Neosho, Mo. Nov. ?9, l88l 



Dear Sir! 



I take the liberty to send you the enclosed letter from Mr. Meusebach, 

 for whose address I am thankful to you. 



Buckley Claims to have found his white and red Monticolas in Burnet, 

 Hayes and Bell counties; that is 50-60 M. east of Mr. Von Meusebach* s 

 residence. Do you believe that Mr. M. like Buckley are in error regarding 

 the white Monticolas? Since you probably know the gentleman, you can with 

 some certainty judge the matter. I would very much appreciate your criticism 

 of Mr. Meusebach 1 s letter. Is it possible that (as Mr. M. maintains) all 

 Monticolas are bi-sexual, that is, are fruit ful? Tbis would be the only 

 native srecies of crapes known to me, with which this is the case. 



If you wish I can send you a rooted vine of . . . . hybrid O^-rtf. 

 X Rup. , also cuttings of other wild, hybrid grapes. 



Respectfully your devot ed 

 Hermann Jaepter
