          letter dated 26th of November last (but recieved in the month
of March) that the said Annals would be sent by the 
Society itself. Pray have the kindness to remember
of this object. At the same time I beg leave to repeat
that for my Herbarium any plants you have to dispose
of will be very acceptable, that however the Algae, as
well the fresh water ones as those of the coasts form
a darling object of my wishes.

All what I have received from you, to be forwarded
had met due attention. I have also on receipt of your
letter informed the Royal bot. [Botanical] Society of Regensberg (having
had the pleasure to propose you theyr [their] member) that heyr [their]
diploma has safely reached you.

I guess that Dr Gray has allready begun his interesting
tour to the South Seas. If opportunity offering,
you should write to him, they pray let him know
that his letter of the 26’ of November did not reach me
but in the month of March last, and that I omitted
answer only because according to that letter I could not
but suppose, that my answer would not find him home.
All objects which his letter referrs to, I have received
and forwarded  as mentioned above.

I take the liberty to transmit you several copies
of my 7th Pugillus [Pugillus plantarum in Botanico Hamburgensium Horto occurentium] for distribution, desiring you to
retain one of them for Dr Gray.
