Dear Georg ! An old friend knocks at the door and wishes you a happy 



New Year (in German: Prosit Neujahr) t. Though I am wxthout answer 



from you for my letter of Sept. 18 of last vear and Aug. 7 of this 



year, you do send me at times most interesting printed natters. I am 



also present throwrh ny photoßrraph , which you must have reeeived long 



asro throua-h Julius. Büt I write a^ain, as an opportunity presents 



itself,to reply to all kinds of corrections in my herbarium:} which 



r am indebted to you^ in a somewhat dif f erent , really paleontologicall 



back 



botanical way. I just reeeived / a box of pit-coal (German: Stein- 

 kohle = Hard Coal,E.D.) plants from the area of mine Sternberg, though 

 not from the same mine as those from Prof. Gomintz (? E.D.) in Dres- 

 den, who identified them. Includ ed are out Standing speeimens , x^rhich the 

 deceased^ Mattaeus,who saw them at my home, found of great interest,, 

 but the war then made a shipment impossible, and then he died. Here 

 is the index: :
