Most honored Friend 1 



I was /rlad to learn from your letter ofJuly 19 of last year, that 

 the ferns did arrive welll some tirae ago, and Hope that the little pack- 

 age from Boissler got to you as expected or that you took the necas- 

 sary safety measures, that it would cone safely from Washington to St.. 

 Louis, Torlay I delivered: to Dr. Flügel 1 the books enumerated' later, which 

 were j mm still 1 available fron the antiquarian Schniöt; they are sup- 

 posed to leave here on the iBth of September and leave Bremen on the 

 Sept. 28, should thus arrive in Washington during the middle of Octo- 

 berv. 



Concerning the ferns, shortly after I had expedited your collec 

 tiorr last year, I reeeived from Eaton a rieh collection of the - Fein det 



and Wright ferns, of these special 1 Jr ■ t h o s e of the 



which are still mi ssing in your collection, in order to get my defi — 

 nitions, and thus you find in other editions, that Eaton mentions my 

 def initions, with many others, which Eaton, did not send, numerous dis- 

 crepancies and Eaton* s renarks, a^d in these Eaton 1 s presentation is 

 in need of many corrections. Several have been described in the raean- 

 time by Hooker. 



As to the books, what needs to be done, will soon be begurc? 

 Schmidt in Halle did reeeive the transportation of your writings soon,. 

 A f ew copies of each remairr - I sent him those, which are still on hand, 

 of these Salm Dyk monog, Aloes and Messemb. I,II,because the complete 

 opus is difficult to obtain. The completion of this unf ortunately 

 still unfinished opus I shall obtain. by way of the book trade.— 

 Schmidt desires much, that you may make another selection soon in o~- 

 der to complete the exchange,. To this end I have studied his catalogue 

 asrain, and direct your attention to : •
