23/3/89
Lately, dear Dr Bride, I received a magnificent volume in large quarto, with numerous lithographic plates, from the heirs of Dr Engelmann of St. Louis, comprising the lifelong researches of this distinguished observer of N. Amer. plants.1 I am bound to make a return-sending. Suppose, I presented this volume of my departed friend to the public Library, could you undertake to forward early an equivalent in some of my own illustrated works?2
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
