Dear Priend Engelmann' ! 



Johann Sibe^ II T , ,a firm I vintner^ f rom here,will departt to- 

 morrow for America and I use the occasion to write to you and to teil 

 you, that I am well ! and. am working stronrty on the Compositae » The 

 Berlin Museum sends to me in the near future a case of Compositae 

 for treatment, which have been collected in equatorial America by* 

 Ed. Otto, Philippi,.R. Schoenburgk, C.. Ehrenberg, A. Atchenborn,, C 

 Moritz. A new point of reference with your second native countryv. 

 The more so I desire a collection as complete as possible of the north- 

 american- Compositae, and would gladly pay for them, if I could obtairr 

 them. I do possess much, but more is missing.. 



Nbw a request..A carpenter, named Bender-, is supposed toc 

 live in Belville (sie. E.D.), who lived a long time here and whora I 

 know#. He wotild very much oblige me, if he would report strictly ac- 

 cording to the . £ruthb the circuras^anced of the enclosed receipt 4 , for 

 thr return of which I ask # .I need to know, who did the work and how 

 much money Bender has reeeived. Involved is the complete expositiorr 

 of a case, which seems to involve a bad fraud.. 



Best g^eetings to all friends, specially TU. Engelman (with 

 one "n" E. D. ) f Helgard, etc # If.you can do anything for Siben, I would 

 appreciate. 



Soon more. Your news as seon as possible, looking forward 

 to resending of the receipt and complete explanation. .
