Heidelberg, 5th April ^9. 



Dear Doctor, 



Please accept my apoligies for asking you to forward the enclosed 

 package to Tittmanns in Belleville. I thought for a long tirae whether I 

 could be of Service to you too, but did not find anything. Should you 

 wish me to do anything for you here, I shall be very happy to help you. 

 Here are more opportunities and certainly more book dealers. If I were not 

 in such a hurry — it is now midnight and I hav^get up at 6 o'clock to cathh 

 fehe first train to Frankfurt, I should write more. — 



Last winter, I took general pathology (Henle), study of medicinal plants 

 (Pfeufer), obstetetrics (Nägele) and apart from H f s anthropology, also 

 cryptogamy under Prof. Bischoff, a study which, I believe, has many interesting 

 facets for me because of the simplicity of the life process (the cell life and 

 because of the parasites as a pathological phenomena). In the summer, I intend 

 to take special pathology and clinical study under Pfeufer, surgery under 

 Chelius, comparative anatomy under Moleschat t to whom Henle had it turned over 

 and everything eise I like. — It is a long time since I have seen your family, 

 but shall probable meet Julius in Frankfurt. — Fare well, and give my best 

 greetings to Dora. 



Your faithful cousin 

 Th. C. Hilgard.
