Refchenbach to Dr. Engelmann June 25tl8_57 

 Ree. July 5 in Paris 



Most honored sir doctor, 



Permit me to refresh your memory. I would like to learn,, 

 which plants would be most desirable to you, if you desire Single 

 or multiple speeimens, and about how large - praeter propter - the 

 number of species or items is, which you have diposable, I am spe- 

 cially interested to obtain just from your hand quite rauch ( and 

 specially items drom Texas), but I do not belong to those people f 

 who think they are entitled to steal others blind without coun- 

 t er Service. 



With my most devoted regards to your wif e Tespectf ully 



H. G. Reichenbach, junior
