Berlin, July 22,1883 



Dear Friend 



This morning I received your letter of the 19th,and see fromr 

 it wlth regrets, that ^re raay. not neet. My plans were in the beginning 

 gereral and uncertainr,and a Visit to Sicily, France and England were 

 not irapossible. Nbw, that I an since 2 weeks in that restless, worry- 

 some Berlin, I find, that I cannot stand this any nore and that it 

 would destroy ne, and theref or have already arra^pred f or the return ~ 

 trip fron Antwerpe on Sept. 8, and will spend August primarly with my 

 sisters at the Rhein and in Frankfurt in greatest peace, but I will 1 

 possibly on. the weekend 2^ - 30 July be the first days of August in 

 Strassburg. Theig I will be, as already said.about 3 weeks in Frank- 

 furt a/M (Mylius street 20) and part in Kreuznach (Addr. Hr. Polstorf ) . 

 If my health improves.we could possibly neet at the beginning of Sep- 

 tember in Brüssel or G"ent; If it is bad, I will go directly to Antwerp 

 and. my enbarkation. , 



Drs. Po selber and Hildenann. I have seen. The latter cultivates ' ve- 

 ry well, has e.fr. Pet e cynhora nicroneris , senilis , etc. seens to be a 

 <?ood student of Pfersdorfs Poselger has raany nice items,and brings 

 nany into flower. In the botanical Oa^^e^. is nothing of Agavae and 

 "acti. Diango a^d Schnitt are supposed to introduce much that is new 

 and the interest cactus is supposed to increase a little. Hilden 

 is on the Rhein, near Bonn, but Poselger says, that nothing was going 

 on there, nothing reliable. 



My address in Strassburg ist Prof. A. De Bary. I wanted to ^ 0 to 

 Frankfurt already today, but had. such a bad night fron asthma that I 

 could not travel as yet. If the next night will be better, we will see. 



With hearty greetings Your 

 G. Engelmanrr
