Absolutely nothing has been accomplished with the inquiries through the 

 Professor in St. Louis Potosi, regarding pine trees, firs, oaks, walnut trees 

 from Mexico in regard to commercial timber, tanning bark etc. I did not even 

 receive a note about what is manufactured in that city for floors, etc. An appeal 

 in the German paper of Mexico also appears not to have had any results, at least 

 not until now for publication. This lets the so splendidly by nature endowed land, 

 to appear in a very poor scientific light. Can you once more helpfully intervene 

 for me? 



As always,
