Bordeaux. July 20, 1878 



Doctor G. Engelmann, 



Sir, dear correspondent and colleague, 



You must have received the first delivery of the publication that I have begun in regards 

 the résistance to the 



I have decided to make this an important work, therefore I would be very obtiged if you 

 would have someone collect for me the fruits of the following, so as to gather their seed: 



Vitis riparia 30 kilogram. 

 Vitis aestivalis 10 kilograms. 



If in St. Louis you should have the type of Vitis condiflora I would also like to have 5 

 kilos of its seed. 



In regards to its price, I hope it will not be more that 20 Francs per kilo. If it should be 

 more that 1 Ibs. sterling then I would ask you not to have them gathered. 



Once harvested, the fruits will be treated with great care and will be fermented so as to 

 understand their fermentation. 



I would appreciate it if you would choose a mode of sending thèse, that would be less 

 costly than the one that goes through New York. Last year I had to pay 20 francs for the 

 seeds. 



I would like to have the liberty of using the same address as before. The Agricultural 

 Society of La Gironde received your package. They are very thankful. The seeds grew 

 very well and have proven to be résistant to the Phyllonera( Vitis aestivalis and 

 cinerea ). 



The Society was surprised to have only payed half for this envoy. To whom should it 

 send the remainder of the price? 



In regards to today's request it would be nice if you could send it in December of this 

 year. 



Please accept my best and most wishes, 

 Millardet 



PD I would appreciate it if you could inform me is you will be able to satisfy my desires.
