March 18, 1876 



The conditions here are thus, that one is able to live.but, other- 



wise, most disagreable« . There is in Austria never the Chance to get to sp 

 antj produce 



place,, where one could workfto the best ability^, as the parties, whichr 

 rule just now, promote their own creatures<* . That is, probably, , in a sense 

 the same in America, but I doubt, that one takes there people as Professors 

 and directors of institutions', who do neither understand anything^ notr want 4 

 to accomplish anything'. The next tirae I hope to be able to report some 

 about the propre ss of my^labors, 



With high esteenr, your most devoted" Dr. E. Pufkinye
