 Mettenius to Engelmann 



(Reason for this filing designation unclear. Transl)) 



Dr. Georges(sic) Engelmann 

 St Louis 



Leipzig, Dec.12,1859 



Or? July 18 1 sent on behalf of Mr. Shaw in St. Louis to Professor Henry in 

 Washington 2 boxes Numbers 285 and 286 holding in gross weight 388 pounds 

 and 280 pounds with the ordered books for a sum of 940 thalers and 8 Schillings. 



I have not yet received any payment for it. Consul Flügel here informs me that 

 according to the answer he got from Professor henry the payment should have 

 come from Mr. Shaw direkt; but I have not seen a Schilling as ofyet. You will 

 therefore find it justified if I allow myself 5 months after the dispatch to turn to you 

 directly in this matter and ask for prompt resolution. However pleasing your 

 Orders are and will be,equally desirable is it of course for me that the remittances 

 arrive as punctually as possible. 



I look forward to additional Orders from you with pleasure and remain in 

 expectations ofyour answer concerning the above 

 Sincerely yours
