 enrichment of your or your St. Louis herbarium? or even for re - 

 lease to others, in which latter case there would be included some 

 more common plants c g. I can then quiftly gather frora the large source 

 of duplicates« I look forward to be rewarded by you in an equally T 

 liberal way. If I should not see you in Frankfurt , you can, as 

 before, teil Julius or Emilie (harne inserted later, E.D..) (I do 

 not remember the name of your sister just now) , but makes no dif- 

 ference,,to give me inf ormatiorr, f irst^ of well defined items or 

 those, that must be looked up. . I am most interested in Cryptogames,, 

 Agalinis ( ? ' E. D. ) ,monocodyledons (an insertion here is in such 

 microscopic script, that I cannot decipher it.E. D..) ) f? also those,, 

 which are common to Europe and America, which are just for that- 

 reasorc of interest for their habitat there..

 of Vienna, so that it should be worthx\rhile for you for that rea- 

 son, to spend. time here to inspect the items thoroughly».
