Most respected Doctor! 



It makes me sick that I am not in a position to find that the speeimen of Cuscuta 

 citricola which had or had carried a peculiar sepal or another one in which I overlooked 

 the same sepal type among similar ones. When we find a similar one you will be the first 

 to see it because I want to know if I have without need (effort) described a new species 

 or missed out on it Our esteemed colleague, Prof. A. Braun will in either case show it to 

 you when the time comes. 



In regard to Linnaea so is it not possible for me to give you a complete set 

 because some volumes are missing 2 . Could you perhaps buy the first ten volumes in 

 an antique shop and then I can get you the rest of the sequence. You may not have to 

 pay for it as I can take either other botanical magazines in trade or even snakes or 

 insects for the museum. In either case, I can keep this exchange up as long as it does 

 not shortchange me. 



We are going to write Professor Temple soon, but in the meantime, would you 

 give him my heartfelt thanks for his kind answer and teil him that I understand that he 

 cannot under the present circumstances do anything but say no. 



With best regards from me, I am, with the highest respect, 



Yours
