 Ans. July 21 



Most honored sir doctor, 



Just now overburdened. ^rith business and visitors,I only found. 

 time toÄayfout for you herewith a collection gathered by Kotschge, 

 with plants (about 140) just numbered. These are very rare items 



(Pelar^onium , ( illegible ,E. D) , Arcanthos) , at that, the 



speeimens moätly puny. 



If you do not care for the items, send them back, The labels I 

 will write for you and mail them with the collection, which I send to 

 your brother,in case you will, as I hope, send a very^ubstantial! col- 

 lection 1 . Should this be of especial interest,I could perhaps lay 

 by some seeds (which I must buy as well and expensive as others) • 

 Respectfully, H. G. Reichenbach 



Leipzig, July 17,185g
