Most honored Friend l 



My . announcenent of the ordering of your pure ha se to 



in Zwickau has crossed with your letter of Feb. ?M ! The book order 

 of the latter I took care of inediately, and. today, sfter I had been 

 a f ew days in. Berlin, I reeeived the Ii st ine; fron Welgel, , in which 

 all the books have been marked, which are still on hand; the mailing 

 will not take place until all the books destined for you will have 

 assembled completely and. bound. At the end of the li<äting Weigel 

 put together several books, which, in case they escaped your atten- 

 tion, .he believes to be specially desirable as they belong to the 

 rarities. If you should inform me lmmediately about a further selec- 

 tion, this could be expedited also with the same shlpment. In che- 

 cking through the index, I missed the l4th volurae of Pindermus of 

 De Candolles ? The realster of the entire work; I do not doubt t , 

 that I expressed your wlsh by ordering it lmmediately. 



The Hortus missouriensis will soon flower by such enrichtoent 

 and surpass our braehypod ( Greek " short-f ooted ft E • D • ) institutions; 

 at first, however, an e&change seens to me still posslble; Of many 

 northamerican plant s examples of shrubs and trees are missing in 

 srood specimens.I want to believe, , that a signif icant number of such 

 plant s would enable you to angrient your plant collection fast through 

 exchange. Düring the Stimmer I will send you a listing of such dubll- 

 cates; at the moment we are somewhat meSsed up.because a part of 



the s-^eat has heen changed into land.and I must 



for that reason postpone to ^ext year thefeendTiving plants« 



I would be very glad, if you would send me the Fe^s of 

 Finken and Wright for inspection; of the first I know only a small 

 part, the latter not at all. -gj^sebepk -did not publish hish±s. dis- 

 sertation up to this hour,but I will approach hin about th e species,. 

 which are supposed to be new, in or^e^ not to increase the confusion
