Honored Sir] 



I have just received your kind letter of the ?J'th ult. and hasten to answer it. 

 I certainly did misunderstand you and want to correct this immediately. I am indeed 

 most pleased that I can receive Seed specimens from you from the herbarium and I will 

 be greatly indebted to you if you will send such a collection to the Imperial & Royal 

 Experimental Station. 



As to your question regarding our mutu^l friend Professor Ed. Fenzl, I am happy to 

 report only good things. Fenzl is still the old hale and hearty man, in body and spirit, 

 and still always retains his fine humor and loves to relate jokes and anecdotes. I will 

 extend your greetings to him as soon as I see him, probably around Easter. 



And now in closing, one more question "prodome/ 1 Do you know of anyone in St. 

 Louis or at all in the '"est who would be inclined to enter into a mycological exchange 

 with me? I have correspondents and industrious exchange- friends in the Eastern states, 

 New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, as also in South Carolina, but in the Western 

 and Pacific states I have neither. If you could give me the names of some mycologists, 

 I would be greatly indebted to you. 



In the hope that I will soon receive a small shipment of Vitis seeds for the 

 Imperial & Royal Experimental Station, I remain, 



Sincerely yours, 

 Br. Thismen
