Leonharde - 2 - Sep. 9-1864 



my nephew. Through your various, kind mailings about Cacti, Coni- 

 fers, , etc,you sta.ve me rauch joy and obliged me to 



say thanks. When the occasion offers itself , you may want to 

 share the and some coniflers in natural State, as 



well as the promised, stränge Labiacotyle ( ? E.D.) f; 

 little plantlets. Your Nelumbiae of very old strangeness, has 

 been translated by Dr. Kraus for the publication Lotos and will 

 be printed right away. The corrections about the Myriophytae 

 have my thanks; the smaller, which you designated as verticil- 

 lata , by the way, accordinß- to fruits and stamens seems to be the 

 same, the root strucure may be somewhq,t diverting. 



Scientific pamphlets can apparently/mailed to you and fronrr 

 you by »-band ? Or, must it be Journals V 



I was during the summe r so overburdened, that I did not get 

 t0 • Nöw he is awayv When he comes back I shall ask 



him about the Mastodon tooth, and remind hinr of a exc hange arift. 



You look at the question of the conflict there (i.e. the Civil' 

 War, E.D.) from the emancipation ( * I am not sure.that this trans- 

 lation is correct. E.D.),. and that from the agriculture. But there 

 is also a religious, humane viewpoint , which, without being imprac- 

 tical, and without recognizing the relativ imbalance, nevertheless 

 comes to somewhat other conclusions as to the related balance and 

 other subjects. 



May you in these battles be involved as little as possible. 

 I and my wife, who greets you with me, would be deligbted to get + 

 good news from you and your som Stay well, Your old friend
