Ich werde 2 grössere Bände meiner Werke in den nächsten Wochen schliessen u Ihnen dann zugänglich machen.

Fast hätte ich übersehen Ihnen für die im letzten Monat angelangten prächtigen N. Seeländischen Atlasse zu danken.

Dear Professor,

I enclose this letter from Hobarton2 to show you, that I have delivered your beautiful maps.A small parcel of publications for you has been enclosed in a case, which was dispatched from here by the Lincolnshire at the beginning of this month and will go to Professor Roeper in Rostock via Dr Sonder.

Always in friendship

Next week I am going to conclude two larger volumes of my works3 and shall then make them available to you.

I almost forgot to thank you for the magnificent New Zealand atlases, which arrived last month.4

I have distributed them according to your wish.
