I have often thought of the collection of Mr. Guedeney. St. Germain, 

 Vesinet, as well as the whole environs was occupied by the Prussians. The 

 destructions should be terrible, most of the inhabitants fled before the 

 advance of the Prussians. What Mr. Guedeney would not have done for the love 

 of his plants. All of the houses which were not occupied the Prussians put to 

 their use. As soon as I know something about Mr. Guedeney I will inform you. 



This past summer I sent some plants to Dr. Poselger but since then have 

 heard nothinr? from hira. At that time he wrote to rae that Mr. Hasseloff had died. 



I spoke to General Gacobe the last time at the exhibition in Hamburg in 

 September l869 f it will be about 5 weeks since he sent me a greeting, through 

 Monsieur Des Moulin in Möns. 



It is all the same to where you address your esteemed letters. Those of 

 importance are immediately forwarded to me, wherever I may be. My address in 

 Paris, 110 Avenue de St. Ouen Batignolles. 



Dear Doctor, please accept the assurance of my highest esteem, 

 Your devoted 



Chas. Pfersdorff
