Most honored Friend ! 



I would have thanked you for the sending of ferns, and spe- 

 cially the anple speeimens of Che^ 1 . greulli and the .^T^tTT^ ; . . ^ J 

 Speele s c # which arrived already before the New Year , if I h^d rot at 

 the same time expected further news ahout the antiquarlall affairs, 

 the completion of whichl seemed worthwhile through the credit|coupon ,< 

 as the antlquarian appeared Willing to void the debt of the delay.

 exist with you ? A lot of old ones come to us, e.g. those orlginally 

 determined in the Flora Carolinlana by Walter is being copied from 

 book to book and nöbody has seen the book; similarly a Flora by Bar- 

 ton can not be obtained, and soraetimes, when the occasion arises to 

 aquire such books, one gives preference to more imposant ones. - 



Dr. Hes'elmeyer, who sent you bis monograph 1 of the c|lli trichae 

 (?? E.D.), made great efforts with the literature, out of Berlin,,

 settled in Tübingen as a private docent :ocoupied with the Lemna-
