Vienna, April 27, ]R79 



Honored SirJ 



You have given me great and unexpected pleasure with your shipment of 

 Vitis seeds. Even though I am no longer in Klosterneuberg, I still am in 

 contact (communication) with the oenological Institute there, I will not fail to 

 send your beautiful shipment to its destination. 



Please there fore, honored Sir, accept my private thanks as well as those of the 

 Institute for your friendliness, 



I often see Privy Counsellor Fenzl and his wife and will not fail to extend 

 your heartiest greetings from you. Both of the daughters are married, one to 

 Professor Weiss, director of the local observatory, the other to Czernak, minerol- 

 ogist at the University. Fenzl himself is retired. 



I remain, 



Sincerely, your devoted 

 Thismen
