This is now a fast overview of the Contents of your shipment, 

 and I' take it from Your Wellborn earlier letter, that the 3 Ech. 

 LI ndjigjjnej^. and the various var. of Echlnocereus coespitosus , cone 

 pr obably from a shipnent, which Kr. Lindheimer nad e to von, bei ng- 

 the reason that these plants are all in the worst condition. Of 

 th e 3 Li "deiner i nlv ^e is alive, though it has at the rim a 

 wounded and rotted spot, which I had. to have excised. The E.coes- 

 pitosi are also (with exception of a Single specinen) near dead, 

 or very sick I I, thus, believe, that a remuneration of at nost 

 10 thaler is all they are worth. . Does Your Wellborn believe, that 

 this is enough at the prices exisiting with you ? I ask you, to let 

 me know, and I shall have the 10 Thaler pald out to your Hr. bro- 

 ther in Prankfurt. -
