a big city.close to Paris, and may be agreable to you.but in Sou- 

 thern France you could take care of your ca<& rauch better, I am 

 anxious to hear from you. Hopefully, you do not wait for this letter, 

 a^d send a few lines already earlier. I hope most, that this letter 

 will not be lost but will be able to find you in another camp 

 quarter. . 



My son could stay in Paris only 3 days.and he was therefor 

 not able to look you up f which he much regretted. I enclose seeds of 

 Agave vi^inica, A.m aculosa . A. desertl ?, which I just received; from 

 Lower California (may-be, it is also a different species) and from 

 the new Cereus gummosus , al so from there t which has also a spiny fruit; 

 It grows lying on the ground t its thick members are too soft to stand 

 upright and seems to droop over ston.es and tree-stumps. 



And now, stay well for today and let me hear from you soon 

 at least a postal Card. 



Your G. En^elmann
