At Regensburg 10. 10.1 1890.
'X' probably is to be translated literally here as 'December'; see Royal Botanical Society of Regensburg to M, 21 December 1890.
MS is an illustrated certificate that bears the insignia and shield of the Society with its motto, 'Concordia res parvae crescunt' [Through harmony small things grow] above it. The motto comes from Sallust, Jugurtha, 10.6, of which there are many editions (see, for example, Sallust (1849), p. 46).
