number of them. I recommend them to you in a very spécial way and thank you in 

 advance for ail those that you could collect for me. 



Allow me, dear Sir, before I end this letter, to send you according to our custom here in 

 France, at this time, my most vivid and sincère vows for your happiness during this year 

 that has just begun. I also hope that your herbarium will be enriched by many and rare 

 plants! 



Please, accept, dear Sir the assurance of my sincère and devout affection.

One of my friends, Mr. Bruns, lawyer at the civil courts of the city of Lyon, where he also 

 lives ( Rue de Boeuf ) , has a superb collection of Lepidoptera of France and other parts 

 of Europe. However he has none from America. He would like to get some. If you should 

 know someone who is an entomologist who would like to trade insects with him, he could 

 include his remmittance in the package that you are sending me. I will place his together 

 with mine. Mr. Brun is only interested in the Lepidoptera.
