St. Petersburg, April 21, 1&79 



Esteemed FriendJ 



Many thanks for the berries of the Vitis , many of them we are already culti- 

 vating and it will however be interesting to me, to use these directly sent of 

 you . seeds for culture. 



Rubus is cultivated in large masses in Petersburg, among the 



completely durable low shrabs. 



Many thanks for the Works which you sent, all of which were of great 

 interest to me. Our mutual friend A. Braun has died, let us hope that we will 

 not follow him all too soon. In my old days, more and more I get the longing to 

 return once more for a longer period to my old homeland, even though few of the 

 childhood friends remain, they all look back to the always becoming more 

 alive remembrances of their childhood. 



Does this not also happen to you? 



With heartiest greetings, 

 E. Regel
