Most hifirhly esteemed Friend ! 



Your kind communication of April : 26 I found on my returrr 

 from Carlsbad on the 2^d of this raonth in Breslau 1 , but could not an- 

 swer so far as I was unf o^tunatel y transferred into this total polish 

 mess and as only a few days were available to aecoraplish this nove.. 

 My family and my plants are still in Breslau and I shall fetoh both 

 only in the Coming month. . 



At the moment I cannot invite yowto Visit my plants, as 

 they would have only a very restricted interest without my presence. 

 I must leave it to you, if you want to Visit Breslau at all 1 , to post- 

 pone a^ excursion here until you can conbine it with a trip to Bres- 

 lau. The raiddle of July would probably be the most opportune time f , 

 as I must bep:iu to travel toward the end of July on business, and will' 1 

 not be back until the niddle of August, The seeds, which you sned 

 ki>ndly I sowed all this Spring*, and all germinated- quite well' itfith 

 exception of most of the Qpuntias and Yucca eduli s ; of Yucca angus - 

 tif olia however only one seedi 



I am very sorry to learn, that regimental! doctor- Weber- is 

 stationed in Paris,or I would have looked him up last Summer, when I 

 was there beyond doubt. I was then at Pfanddorf ( ? B. D. ) , but the 

 plant sfor which you arranged, are still too small 1 , to be able to forrr 

 a meaningful judgement. 



Since we have written to another, I entered into closer com- 

 mercial relation to the travel ler- C .Besserer , from whom I bought se- 

 veral quite wonderful Aravee« He gave very interesting facts about the 

 places of origin of thejdf f f erent species brought* by hirr, and on my 

 part, I gave himrref erences about territories, which have been less 

 exploited,so that he should explore those speeif ically. Since Spring 

 he is a^ain in Mexico, but I do not have any news from him from there.
