their description is good. I also remember this plant from Germany where I had 

 to drag it up for every apothecary examination. I have called in Ericala coronata 

 since among thousands of specimens I never saw a flat one; I shall also write to 

 Torrey and Gray about this and send them a specimen.— My Veronica which I found in 

 38 at St. Peters and which I lost with my collection, (I have sent you a drawing 

 thereof) I have found again and called it Veronica verbasiculum (?) and shall send 

 it there also with the former 



I am still pretty bad off with regard to my most necessary needs. If you 

 could do something for me in this respect I shall repay you richly.... 



1 have convinced the people here to grow grapes and have succeeded. I have 

 started a vineyard for Dr. Engelbach on one acre and more neighbors are following 

 the example according to the ways I planted it. Give my greetings to everybody and 

 especially to Mr. Kimm, I should very much like to talk to him. 



Gratefully yours, 

 Ghas. A. Geyer.
