 Dear Sir


 You receive hereby the new
 catalogue of seeds of the Imperial botanic
 garden. Some weeks later You will receive
 a choice of such seeds for Your garden, as I 
 think acceptable to You.


 I remain most faithfully
 Your most obedt [obedient]
 F.E.L. Fischer


 P.S. May 20th


 It has been impossible to dispatch
 catalogue seeds earlier that now;
 I hope you will find amongst the seeds
 one species worth your cultivation.
 I shall be happy to hear of you, & to
 know that you have received this parcel,
