of plants from the above designated area, because at any rate I can off er you much that 

 is of interest to you. 



Now another question which, honored sir, you at any rate being familiär -*dth the 

 circumstances which are involved in this question , will kindly answer it. In which 

 manner is a change possible or conceivable to an American Institution of higher learning 

 e.g. in your state of Missouri, of whose energetic development I hear only good things and 

 of which I also derive my pleasure, that in this state f more and more than in any other 

 of the Union, the German elemant concentrates and gains recognition? I am a teacher of 

 the natural sciences at the local public technical educational establishment, after my 

 State examination for 2 years I was assistant for subjects at the technical school in 

 Erlangen, then for 2 years I was employed at the Canton school in Baselland in Switzer- 

 land, in the same capacity. Not only qualified as teacher, I am also a practical research- 

 er in various fields, with which, as teacher in a technical educational establishment, 

 I frequently get in touch, as e.g. technical chemistry, forensic-medieal and technical - 

 chemical expertise as also technical-microscopic expertise. Since probably in your 

 advanced schools the English language is used for Instruction, in spite of predominently 

 German elements,. this would be a snall disadvahtage for me because I am not very familiär 

 with the verbal expressions of the English language, because of a lack of practice. 



Will you please be so good and give me a decision in this matter, then if it is 

 convenient I will gladly go into that, which in case is desirable and appropriate. 

 And now esteemed Sir, I am sincerely, 



Your devoted, 

 Paul Reinsen
