-2- 



with your help at the coast of Florida, Key West or in the interior; I have a very 

 good friend there whom I met in New York, a Scot garden friend by the narae of John 

 Emmerson; I don't know whether he is the same who was Governor of Florida some years 

 ago, but his name is also John Emmerson; he was a fine, eduoated man with family and 

 wealth so it could be possible that he is the same. From newspapers I learned 

 that the Ex-Governor is living in Gadsden and that was where my friend was going 

 to, I remember that clearly. Perhaps you could find someone who would have the 

 Information or one on whose recommendation I could go there; please write me 

 about this in your next letter; I am certain to find many things there. 



Soon I have to leave here and go down to St. Louis-I still need a few Thaler 

 for this and if you could possibly send me 2 or 3 Thaler, I shall prepare for my 

 departure and leave as soon as I have received your answer. 



Chas. A. Geyer.
