Dear Friend I 



Pinally I Ret to give you news about the ferns and the books,, 

 which you had entrusted rae with.- To undertake the latter, neither 

 second band dealers nor bookstores were Willing; these set up such 

 impossible conditions, that your wishes could not be f ulf illedjlea- 

 ving only one choice for nie, to give those books in commissi orr, or 

 to arrange myself for their distributiom I decided for the last, 

 beoau.se , then, if at any time the Chance is offered,it can be used 

 to take advantage en bloc. poseigen has inserted a revision of your 

 Cactus publications in the Man bürg Garden-news, after I had. mailed 

 to him the advise of Brian your Bound. Cacti (Boundary, E.D. ) 

 and the Synopsis. I had a little announcenent printed and mailed it 

 to botanists of this and forei^n countries a>"d to cactus arcateurs, 

 the latter with the help of Poselscer and Pazzenii in Vienna* After 

 dedueting expenses : 1 x of* * ^ Thaler, 3 Pfennig we reeeived 6l 

 Thaler, 2^ Sgr (Silver-.srroschen,ii..D. ) , a result, which oonfirms the 

 expectations of the book dealers, but will improve after distributiorr 

 of the revisiom 



De post facto I report on an exchange off er fron T.O.Weigel; 

 he wants the e^tire supply of all your publications of his publi - 

 shlng hon.se (exclusive of the second-hand catalogue) for the surr of 

 approxinately 300 Thaler. This Publishing enterprlse co^.sists of very 

 few scientific works,of botany only the works off Martius : erenera 

 et species Palnarum ( in black 1?5 Th. colored. 295 Th.), nova gene- 

 ra et species plantarunr (in black 146 Th., colored 222 Th.) all other 

 publicati ons, possibly with the exception of Jackori , are hardly of 

 inte^est to you, and the publications of Martins can be in ny opi- 

 nion be aquired cheaper in second-hand or at au auetiorc. Besides*, ,
