Hierhly esteemed Friend ! 



For a long time your friendly coramunication of June 8 lies un - 

 answered on my table, or respectively sometiraes in my briefease on my 

 travels of inspectiorr, but I could not until now find a free nonent, 

 to compose a quiet and thotouerh Answer. 0^ June 20 I returned fron a 

 Service itinerary to Breslau, in order to fetob my farailyand ny plant s 



there, and if I teil you, that the latter filled 3 railroad cars, 

 you will ' comprehend , that packing a^d unpacking and positioning of 

 thenn tfa&& I had to be glad , trat on July 2 5, T ^hen I be^an ny present 

 trip f .I had finished that business.. 



Now I re^urn tomorrow fron here to Posen, where I will have 3 or 

 k weeks of quiet, depending if I go still to the exhibition to Han - 

 huvfr or not.. Then, I have to aprain to the bi# maneuveres in Prussia 

 and in Ootober again to Upper Silesia, ho that I will not get any rest 

 bef ore the end of October. . 



Düring my trips to the Northeast I did not miss f to see Wardens and. 

 rlant s , wherever any possibili ty arose, and, thus, wanted to look up 

 Caspari in Königsberg again, but, unf ortunately, he had gone for se- 

 veral ^avs to Nlmphannjagd near Gnnbinnen-, so that I had ny travels 

 throuprh bis botanioal GRvöer. all by nyself. When I was in Danzid in. the 

 spring I visited the casUe^arden in Oliva and e^joyed the natural and 

 healthy appearanoe of the small oaotus collection existing there. A 

 result of ny visit there is a beautiful specinen of the so-oalled 1 

 Roetzlia regia , which I plan to describe as Faureraya Baeslii . I sent 

 to the very reasonable casfte erardener there a number of Agave species 

 and a dozen cacti as counter-erif t a^d I shall ; in September, xsrhen I go 

 there again, . check how my offsprings are doing..
