Eichler, A.
1869, June ?7th
Munich, Germany

TRANSLATION Munich, 7th June 1869
Dear Sir,

Professor Asa: Gray who has given us the pleasure of his visit for several days,
has the kindness to forward this letter to you and to give his recommendation
to my request.

We have talked about the Flora Brasiliensis and that the late Geheimrat von Martius
has left the continuation of this to me and which has been secured by contracts with the
Brazilian government. I mentioned to Professor Gray that one of the families which
would cause me the greatest difficulties would be Cactaceae and asked him whether he
would believe that you, dear Sir, might be willing to take over this family. I was very
happy to hear from him that he not only thought this possible, but quite probable and
that should I make such a request to you, he would be willing to support me in this.
Therefore, I take the liberty to offer this family to you. It will not be very easily
possible to help you with much material from Brasil; however, perhaps your previous
studies on the cactaceae already gave you sufficient insight with regard to the Brazilian
representatives of this family. In any event, should you be willing to undertake this,
I shall be willing to send you all the material I can possibly obtain.

Since it will take several more years to complete the Flora Brasiliensis, we
would not be in a great hurry to receive your work and I should be completely
satisfied if this work could be done within 3-4 years.

Needless to say, that all expenses arising out of this work will be taken care of
by me. Also, should you wish it, I would be willing to make an advance payment to you
for this work.

Should you not entirely refuse to work on this family for the Flora Brasiliensis,
please let me know so that we can make special detailed arrangements. These arrange-
ments could be more easily made if you (as Professor Gray gave us hope) would entertain
the idea of visiting Munich this summer. I don't have to say how much I should
enjoy to make your personal acquaintance at that occasion.

The fact that I offer you the cactaceae was because the late Martius mentioned
several times that he had this idea; this idea was supported by Professor Braun. In
any event, it only seems natural; you won't consider it just empty flattery if I tell
you that I am convinced that nobody but you could make this family better and that
science will owe you great thanks in case you should take this on.

Meeting Professor Gray was meeting a most gracious, knowledgeable man whom I

shall always remember. Unfortunately, he intends to leave us already tomorrow; however,

I hope that he will follow his plan to return here for a short time.

You would oblige me very much by your kind acceptance of my offer. But even
if you cannot or do not wish to accept this, I should appreciate receiving a
short note from you.

Please accept my assurance of my respect and admiration.

Your devoted,

A. W. Eichler.

Martis Flora Brasiliensis

(Dr. Eichler)
Munich, Karlstr. 52
Dear Sir,

You will probably have formed a bad opinion of me as far as my, reliability asa
correspondent is concerned, since I let three months go by without answering your kind
letter of 5th October. However, please excuse this because of all the work I have
to do in connection with the Flora Brasiliensis and also because there was no special
reason to write. Although, today there is nothing special I don't want to end the
year without doing my duty to you.

First, I hope you have returned to St. Louis well and in good health and I wish
to express my happiness of being able to make your personal acquaintance this summer
and to enter into closer connection with you. Then, please also accept my thanks
for your detailed instructions for the collecting and observations of the cacti for
my Brasilian correspondents. I have already informed them in great detail (I have
also sent a copy to the gentlemen in Berlin); however, I have not yet received a reply,
but I know that they will do everything to comply with your wishes. As an incentive
I mentioned (and I hope you have nothing against it) that in the event of their extensive
support, the names of the botanists will be mentioned adequately on the title of the
issue in question. Since one of these correspeondents is Dr. A, Glaziou, director of
the Passeio Publico in Rio de Janeiro (under which address any letters which I told
him you might wish to write will reach him), a very diligent and pleasant man,
unsurpassable as a collector and with some botanical knowledge; the other one is
Joaquim Correa de Mello’ (in Campinas, provincia de S. Paulo, Braxil) with whom I have
not yet corresponded, who, however, was recommended to me from Paris (by Bureau and
Baillon) as one of the most faithful and experienced observers and whom I in turn
was recommended with the Flora Brasiliensis by Paris. The connection with the latter
might be very valuable since the province of S. Paulo is richer in cacti than Rio;
furthermore, Mello retired from his business entirely (he was an apothecary) and can
devote all his time to botany; he already has sent to the Paris’ gentlemen many
observations and plants. He is also supposed to be a very capable draughtsman. All
this will make it worthwhile to contact him. Please, ask for the shipments without

postage and pay it yourself in the meantime until we can straighten out our accounts;

RE MM

I did the same when I was in Brasil.

I also asked around for other people in Brasil; however, have not found out anything
yet. Dr. Peckholt (court apothecary) would be up to your standards, but has too much
to do in his business.

From Warming in Copenhagen, who has been for a long time in Minas Province and
collected and made observations, I shall receive soon whatever he has about cacti in
the form of drawings and manuscripts (he did not enclose anything of this family) and
I shall send this to you together with what was collected here in the gardens according
to your instructions. What is the best and cheapest way of sending material® I hoped
to use for the Flora Brasiliensis the Smithsonian Institution and I hope that you
received my last shipment through them, but I was told on the occasion of my last
shipment that this is not possible in the future for private persons. Perhaps you will
succeed in making a different arrangement. In any event, that way was the best since
it was the cheapest.

Shall I send you the cactaceae out of the Flore Flumensis, also from Marcgrav
and Piso and copy the descriptions thereof? I know that that was your wish, but I don't
remember exactly, since so many things went through my head since that time, what
the exact details of our discussion were.

Even though this letter will not reach you before the middle of January, I still
shall, according to our beloved custom, send you my best wishes for the New Year.
Hoping to hear from you good news and with the assurance of my Sincere respect and

admiration,
I am your most devoted
A. W. Eichler
Dr. Engelmann, St. Louis.

P.S. Among the Brasilian botanists Dr. Fritz Müller (also a good German) in
Itajahy, provincia S. Paulo, might be interested in the cactaceae. I shall write

him myself sometime.

Martius Flora Brasilliensis

(Prof. Dr. Eichler)
Bar Sir:

Your kind letter of 22nd August arrived safely and made me very happy. I had not
"given you up" as you assumed, but I did not know what to EBkak of your complete silence.
Well, it shall not be my fault if our communication should not be more active.

I have written Glaziou not only once, but 4-5 times with regard to your needs. I
also received from him his best promises, also repeatedly; and since he usually is
true to his words, I cannot quite understand that he did not send you anything. Well,
hopefully he will still do so. -- I shall remind him again within the next few days.

From my second, formerly very active correspondent, Dr. Peckolt in Rio de Janeiro,
nothing more can be expected, it is very unfortunate; he is too much occupied with his
big business (Court apothecary and main drug business). --A letter which I wrote to
Mr. Correa de Mello (at Campinas in the Province of S. Paulo) with regard to cacti
must have been lost, at least I never received a reply; I shall write him again and
especially now that I know you began to work seriously on the Brasilian cactaceae I
shall take all possible steps to obtain new material. I know that without considerable
more material, the work is not very fruitful.

I was glad to hear that you were interested in my work on the Loranthaceae. My
material for Areceuthobium was rather scarce and here it needs some corrections; also
I made this thing at that time to the best of my knowledge. I shall be very grateful
for your promised paper on this genus and no doubt shall learn much from it. I am
rather surprised that Viscum vaginatum HBK is supposed not to be Areceuthobium; the
original specimens in the Berlin herbarium made me reach no different result, consid-
ering my knowledge at that time.

I shall send future shipments via the Smithsonian Institution --provided that I

won't have such difficulties as the last time. I was appalled to hear the bookdealer

who gave Dr. Flügel the shipment for you caused you such an expense; however, it has
happened and we can't change it any more and that is supposed to comfort you as they
say in Turkey when they beheaded the wrong person.

Many thanks for your congratulations to my appointment in Graz. I am well and
I like it here very much; the country is beautiful, also the people are nice and also

the conditions in our institution are very pleasant. I also have married a year ago

and am expecting a new member of the family in a short time. By the way, it is possible
that I have to change again soon; I was offered Kiel, but we have not yet agreed on the
conditions, but the decision must come soon. That the Flora Brasiliensis is progressing
satisfactorily you will have learned from Silliman's journal and also from other sources.
At the present I am working on the Euphorbiaceae (expusuit Müller Arguv.) a tremendous
work; and on the Vernoniaceae, Olacaceae, Araceae, Zygophyllaceae, Callitrich., they
are almost ready to be published; Amaranthus, Vochysiaceae, Trigoniaceae, Polygal.,
and some small groups are almost finished as the authors advised mecor the manuscripts
are already here; the work is going on strongly on a good number of other families
and so I hope that within a few years the end will be reached. Of course, there are
some bad items left on which probably nobody will want to work, as for instance Araliacae,
Cucurbitaceae, ete., I also doubt that Reichenbach fil. will ever finish the Orc&hid-
acease which he has had in his hands for many years already. However, I shall not lose
courage yet.

I hope you will let me hear from you soon. For the time being my best regards

and the assurance of my sincere respect and admiration,

Your devoted

of
Martius Flora Brasiliensis
(Prof. Dr. Eichler)

Dear Doctor:

I have not written you again for such a long time to ask you whether you
are well, which I sincerely hope. The same I would wish concerning the cactaceae.
I don't know whether you received anything from Brazil, not even if you have
received anything at all; should that be the case, I am sorry to admit that 3
don't know what else to do. I have written to all my correspondents, sent them
instructions, repeatedly reminded them of the urgency of the matter, also made
some promises and even if not all the letters reached them, certainly some must
have gone through. Please let me know about this.

Under all the circumstances I should like you to take notice that we have
only three short years for the Flora Brasiliensis. Are you in the position and
willing to work on the cactaceae with the material you already have within the
above mentioned time limit? This should make me very happy. If not, well, I
have to be satisfied and will put the cactaceae together with the other families
which will not be done in the Flora Brasiliensis.

At the time when we discussed this matter personally, I believed it would
be easier to obtain more material. At that time I-was more optimistic; however,
I don't worry so much any more if things go wrong with the Flora Brasiliensis.

It will be fragmentary and whether it lacks one or more families doesn't much
matter. However, I should like it very much if the cactaceae could be included.
Warming intended to send you the Copenhagen material himself. Did this

happen? I forgot to ask him, but can still do it.

My last letter to you I wrote still from Graz. Well, this one is from Kiel
where I have been since Easter 1873 and director of a disgusting botanical garden
(Hegelmaier who has been transferred here is still in Tübingen). I accepted the
appointment because they made the most beautiful promises for a new botanical
garden and institute. The land has been bought and plans have been made, but the
actual building is a long way away. So I have to make out with scandalous trashy
rubbish which I took over from my predecessor Nolte (who died several days ago,
84 years old). I am doing whatever I can to create decent conditions, but it is

slow going, slow because the money grants from Berlin are coming in slow. Most

of it I have to go begging for. I take the liberty to appear before you too as
a beggar. For the collection which we started a year ago, the North American

things, for instance conifer cones, Juglandaceae etc. would.be very desirable.

Could you send us some of these? I should be very grateful and as the biggest
reward I can give you is to mention your name and contributions in the yearly
Chronicle of our university, if not in golden letters, but with words of highest
praise. If this is not an incentive, you, which I hardly expect, let your heart
speak and have pity for us; our misery is so great that even a stone would feel

pity. Anything you could send us will be welcome; if one has nothing, everything

one can get is valuable.

Last month I took up my long studies on the flower construction of the
phanerogams and it became a book with the title "Blüthendiagramme'' of which the
first part was recently published. Under separate cover I have the pleasure of
sending you the work; also the second part should follow soon. May it meet
with your approval.

Now, dear doctor, fare well and make me happy soon by letting me hear from

you again. With sincere respect and best regards,

Your devoted

A. W. Eichler

Martius Flora Brasiliensis
(Prof,Dr, Eichler)

Dear Mr. Engelmann,

Thank you very much for your kind letter of the 5th of this month and for the
brochure. I read this immediately with the greatest interest and especially profited
much from the Agaves for the Diagramme, It is a pity that I din't know about this
earlier;3 only Quercus can still be used since the second part will probably put to
print not before November of this year,

I won't include the cactaceae if you don't send me your work. I did not haga°agn

hand and could say so little about the little which I have that the whole world knows
already. I was not able to do a complete diagram on hardly anything, the history was

too mixed up for me, You are in a happier position in this regard, but I don't hardly
dare to ask for your help, you will probably need your time for better things. However,
should you think differently and would have the great kindness to fill the gap, I should
be very happe and obliged to you, Then, the simplest way to do this would be if you
would write the pertinent part in such a way that it could ge to the printer right away;
of course, it would be in the book under your name, As I should like to see the matter
in general, you can see from the first part, however, it could be more detailed, Only
with regard to the figures we have to be more sparingly and only show what is absolutely
necessary in order to understand the wsx matter, Since I, as I mentioned above, wish

to start:the printing in November of this year, I should like your work, if y@u intend

to send me anything at all, by this time,

Please accept my thanks in advance for the pröomised fruit. You do a great service
for our still very poor institute,. The new buildings which were promised to us, but
werenever even started, will have to be built soon since I just received an expert's
opinion that the old buildings wont survive the coming winter and it won't be possible

to undertake any thorough repair. One of them has already partly collapsed,

The Brasilian emperor and empress have arrived in London, according to newspaper
reports and intend also tw come to Germany. I don't know yet whether I want to get an
introduction as I did the last time; the short presentation is not worth the trouble

and expense of the trip and the counle will hardly come to Kiel,

You have probably heard about Braun's excellent anniversary celebration and
will be glad that Braun received such rich and full recognition at that time.
Hofmeister is supposed to have suffered a stroke and possibly will not be able
to work again; of his handbook only the anatomy of higher plants, which DeBary
worked on, will be published (already in this year) and then the matter will be
given up entirely. If this can happen to such a work, I don't have to be too
unhappy if the Flora Brasiliensis comes to a standstill; now we have only two
years left to live and not only the cactaceae, but a number of other families
will remain undone. Among those, the Orchidaceae which Reichenbach fil. had
in his hands for 20 years and now gives up in an unfriendly manner after getting
all the cream off for his other works on orchids.

That is all I have to say at this time and remain with best wishes and the

assurance of my sincerest respect,

Your devoted

27th July 1879.
Dear Sir,

I am in a similar position as you are; because of too much work the necessary
things remain undone. To add to all this, I have eye trouble and lost much time
because of this; during April and May, I even had to sit in complete dark room
and go through a very uncomfortable sweating cure, and all without the success
hoped for. That is the reason why I only now reply to your kind letter of Slst
March which was received here just a few days before all this trouble started. I
also have teradmit that I wanted to wait for the arrival of the shipment of the
botanical objects which you announced previously before answering your letter
which I had to have read to me, since I was not able to read it myself. Now,
since u ne is better, I am appalled to see that you asked me by which way I
wanted/to send it and that you probably are very angry for not having received an
answer. Please forgive me and take into consideration the conditions here. I hope
that this will never happen again.

The best way for you to send me these things would be through the German
Consulate in St. Louis; please send them to the address which appears at the top
of this letter; the herbarium is not there, but still Braun's collection (it is
the residence of the director). I am looking forward to receiving the announced
items, especially the conifer fruits.

Several weeks ago we unveiled the Braun monument in the Botanical Garden
and I shall send you a photograph of the monument soon which is presently being
made. It is a very beautiful and true picture of our Garden. The last of the
botanical museum buildings is also nearing completion; the question of the
herbarium raises few problems, but the museum more than ever, since it consists
of six large halls, two of which have built-in galleries and the objects we have
to exhibit won't even fill one of the halls. There, you see how much I need help

and repeat my request that you will oblige me too. Everything you send we can

use. With regard to the interior arrangements of the museum, I shall go to Kew
for a few weeks to make my studies there.

Did you receive the second part of my "Blüthendiagramme"? If not, I shall

be pleased to send it to you. Unfortunately, I cannot show any new works; two
or three small things some times.
Again, please excuse the long‘delay in my writing to you, fare well and

be sure of my sincere respect,
Your devoted

A. W. Eichler
P.S. The Flora Brasiliensis has reached a stand-still at the moment because
of lack of funds; however, I have well founded hopes that Brazil will grant more

and then I shall begin again immediately.

Dear Doctor,

The shipment you announced in your kind letter of 16th November of last year
was sent to me through our Foreign Office and I thank you very much for this beautiful
contribution to our collection. To this, I add my private thanks for the beautiful
work you sent to me personally about the plants of Nevada, Utah, etc.; this same work
was sent to me by one of our offices in Washington (I don't remember which one) and I
shall give your copy to the''Royal Botanical Museum"--that is now our official name.

Now you have to let me know what I can do to reciprocate for your kindness.

We have lots of duplicates, especially cryptogams and now, under the new conditions,
it will be possible to distribute them regularly.---The move to the new building was
just finished, but it will still take some time to have everything in order, the
mess in the old stables was just too terrible. Hopefully, we left the worms behind.

You have probably received the second part of my Diagramıa long time ago and
I ask your opinion. I enclose herewith a few small things for the new part; I was
not able to do anything but a few small things because of the condition of my eyes
and the work my position brings with it. In spite of everything, I was recently
elected a new member of the Academey of Sciences; Pringsheim was the one who
proposed my name.

I intend to devote the next years to a '"Comparative morphology of the phanerogams"
for which I find many preparatory works in Braun's estate which the Academy bought
for our botanical museum. It is really amazing what the man observed and studied
and in which form he did it; compared to him one feels like a rank amateur.--

Apart from this work, the work in the botanical museum has to be continued and in
this connection I take the liberty of remindyou of the conifer cones which you
once mentioned, and also hope that you will continue your kindness to the whole
institution.

I was very sorry to see from your last letters that you suffered such a sad
fate during the last years and ask you to accept my sincere sympathy, especially

for the death of your wife. Fare well and be assured of my admiration,

Your devoted

A. W. Eichler

Dear Doctor,

You will have received the two papers on conifers which I took the liberty
of sending to you recently. Since you were always especially interested in coniferous
trees, I can assume that my works will not be without interest to you; I almost
believe that you will agree with my opinion, which, as I think made the matter
clear. Now I have a big favour to ask of you. Since I wish that these papers
become well known also over there, and since it was impossible for me to send more
than a few reprints to some correspondents, I should ask you very much that perhaps
you translate the first paper into English. I am turning to you because in my
opinion you are the only really qualified man to do this; however, should there be
any reason why you can't do it, please disregard my request. I don't want you to
think that I want to impose on you for personal reasons, but I am doing it for the
matter itself.

Should you be willing to make this translation, then we could include as the
main matter of the second part the work about the monstrosities of the fir cones.

A long time has passed since I have heard from you. I hope you are in good
health. Our new Botanical Yearbook will probably have reached you by now. The
museum described and illustrated therein is developing very well. Also the garden
will make progress since the old professor Fouch&(?) hass passed on and a younger,
more efficient and willing man, the former University gardener took his position.

Wouldn'’t you enjoy contributing to the new Yearbook of which the second
volume is now in preparation? I should consider this a great favour which you
would do to the institution and to me personally.

With all my best wishes and the assurance of my great devotion,

Yours sincerely,

A. W. Eichler

Dear Doctor,

Thanking you for your very valuable letter of the 22nd of March of this year.
I am asking you to turn some of your interest to the paper I sent you three days
ago; I hope you will then agree with me that the fruit scales of Abies cannot
develop on the bracts of the bud. As far as I am concerned, the matter is so
certain as nothing else I ever encountered in morphology and regard it as
absolutely impossible to combine the deviations in the development I have seen
with such an opinion. Should you also be convinced, please do me the favor of
talking about it somewhere.

I thank you also for the trouble you took to review my works; it is by far
the best paper which has been published about these. I also thank you for the
interesting seed you sent me some time ago and which hopefully will germinate
and grow here.

Prof. Dr. Chapman which you told me in your last letter would come here, will
be very welcome. Miss Kate Wood came to see us with your letter of introduction
only shortly before her departure to Dresden etc., I was no longer at home and
could not be of any use to her; an invitation tendered to her by my family she
refused to accept.

Mrs. Mettenius probably has sent you in the meantime the biography of her
father written by her and I don't doubt that you were most interested in the book
in which you play such a prominent role. It is a wonderful and rare person she
described, his aims and work, his sufferings and happiness, a real anima candida,
and it is written in such a form that whoever did not love Braun before has
learned to do so just by reading his books. It brought me great and lasting
happiness and inspired my thoughts and renewed my good intentions.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

A. W. Eichler
