Letter to Schmelz, Martin from George Engelmann 



February25, 1857 Kreuznach 



Sir, 



It has been two and one half months since you promised to immediately begin the plates of 

 Cacti that I sent you. I am still waiting for the first proof! You had mentioned that you would finish 

 the 8 plates in 3 months and here I am still without news from you. 



Please be so kind and send to Mr Fleischmann, who was so kind to write thèse lines, the 

 proofs of ail the finished plates that you have until now so that he can send them to me. I will be 

 in Berlin next month and in Paris in April, where I count on finding the 8 plates. 



My address will be 



G. Engelmann at Prof. Alex Braun Berlin 



Your Devoted 



GE.
