St. Louis, Mo. March 15,1883 



Honored Prlend 



When your letter of Sept. 6 arrived here I was on an e^ttendet 

 trip^and could not answer right away and, even less,,send the desired 

 plants. Soraewhai* belated, I erröte tbe^ on November 23 with the address 

 as previously, Military Hospital, Vincennesr, expecting that yout* then 

 address would be knowr there, and the letter be transmitted to you. 

 Etit, that does not, as it seems, to have hanpered as I am totally with- 

 ou t news fron. you. 



I had enolosed in the letter some seeds of Cactus and A^rave,, 

 and writter to you, that I would send everything desired in the Spring 

 and now it would be high time for that,but I an without any news from 

 you a^d do not know where you are stationed now.. 



Agave virp-irica , which grows 10 miles from h e ^e,I h^ve 

 obtained for younand you shall have it with the other items, as soon 

 as I know, where to send. then.. 



I hope, the se lines, which I send to Mr. Vilmori^, will get to 

 you and hope for an answer soon. 



Most cor dl all y , Your 



G. Entrelmann 



Dr. A. Weber, Arielen nedecin en Chef de l'ospital militaire 

 de Vinoennes.
