March It, 1924. 
Dear Sir: 
Your valued letters of the 8 and 15 of February with the checks for 4y0 Kc and 
450 Kc have been gratefully received. The first two packages have been sent to you. 
The first pa.ckage with series 2.8 to 52 for Mr. Bertram and with series J2 for you. 
The second package contains series 20 to 26 for Mr. Collins. The third package yfith 
series 27 to J2 for Mr. Cfflllins I will send in a few days. I have received a letter 
from Mr. Bertram which I have not yet answered. I sympathize with Prof. Collins. 
A removal is alram a bad thing. I moved into my present residence 1$ years ago 
and even today cannot find certain things, among them a valuable book by Warnstorf 
which I could make good use of. 
Your reckoning is not entirely correct, since the dollar here is worth 55Kc. 
The value of J2 must already be very old. My complete charge would then be raised to 
99.75 x J = 299.25 K0. The posthl charges for mailing the three packages together 
would be 24.55 x 5 ~ 75.25 Kc. The other snail package with series 55 would cost 
about 14 Kc. My charge then amounts to 2?9,25 Kc 
75.05 Kc 
14,00 Kc 
together about 586.50 Kc more than you reckoned. 
But I ask you not to send me more than the amount of 51?2Kc which you reckoned, 
three thousand ore hundred ninety two Czechoslovakian Kronen. But I ask the gentlemen 
to add for me six moss forms not occurring in Europe in each ICO good specimens^ for 
my Exaiccati. For me that is considerably more valuable and certainly will not burden 
the gentlemen too severely, because it is not necessary to add curiosities which are 
difficult to procure. But if the gentlemerk' / o^ouid* oblige me in other ways, I am very 
willing to ask, for example, for North American or other non-European moss- or liverwort- 
duplicates. I already have in my herbarium very many North American mosses, yet I am 
convinced that among the material which the gentlemen would send me I would find many 
tilings new to me. I willundtdo.ftt Price that I would like to receive especially for series 
54, which will appear within a few weeks, from you and Prof. Collins and Mr. Bertram 
each, two moss forms for my Exsiccati, You all will thereby give me great pleasure. 
From North America I now have only Drepanocladus aduncus var. aubpiliger - Torula arenacea 
Brothera Leana - Oosoinodon Wrightii - Grimmia teretinervis-et calyptrata and Phys- 
comitruim Hookeri distributed or prepared.also Litrichum flexicaule var. brevefolium. 
Professor Holzinger with whom I have been acquainted for several years has helped 
me in the most friendly manner with North American material. 
Also I hope to receive from Mr. Sereno Rapp much material. His first shipment 4s 
was exceptionally valuable to me and has surprised me with many plants new to me. 
I am very much obliged to you for the two numbers of the Bryologist and for the 
fine Bryum Atwateriae which I did not know. 
So far as your checks are concerned I might state that you could send two or three 
such checks at once, I think, without loss. I do not believe that a loss is to be 
feared, because the banks always inquire as to the legitimacy of the recipient before 
paying. 
It rests only with me that no check runs over 450 Kc but more could arrive at once. 
I am very glad that Mr. Bertram has had much good fortune in his investigations 
in Arizona, it is also very probable that in his travels along the Pacific coast he will 
discover various new things for Bryology.
