Dear Mr. Engelmann,

Ï received your kind letter of the 19 of June. The brochures that you talked about did not arrive. I
regret this very much, because I really needed your comments on the Yucca.

I also regret not having been able to communicate with you about the only species that I find in
its natural form in the Indian Archives with Mr. Merkusis; I also did not find a single cutting.

Ï would appreciate it if you could send me samples of the wild American plants. They will arrive
exactly at the time when we are studying them with the greatest of interest.

Please, Sir, accept the most cordial salutations from your devout

O. Beccari

Rec. April 26

My Dear Sir,

On returning from by voyage to the Red Sea, I found your 2 letters from the 16th and 13th of
February. I also found seeds from the Vitis and a package of brochures. I send you all my
gratitude. The Agave and the Yucca have already germinated.

l have sent you a sample of the ? Merkusii plant, it is the only one I have left. I include the fruits
and the sketches.

It is possible that I am lucky at still having seeds of the Vitis riparia, attivalis and condifolia. I
Will need at least one kilogram of each species. I will be glad to reimburse you for the expenses

of the mailing.

Ï am discontinuing the Directorship of the Botanical Garden and Museum. My address will
continue to be Borgo Tegoleso 48, Florence.

I will be enchanted if you would make me useful to you.

I send you my my esteem .

Devotediy,

O. Beccari

Beccari, Odoardo Rec. Aug. 16
Florence. July 31 1880
My dear Dr. Engelmann,

l received your letter a long time ago, April 29, with your work on the genus Pinus. I
also received the labels of the the Vitis aestivalis, Cineraria cordifolia and riparia, but
the samples never arrived. I will write Mr Egvert to obtain them again.

Our gardens have sufferd very much because of the extremely cold winter that we had,
therefore, in certain places a large number of plants. specially the Agave and the Yucca
did not have a good winter. My friend the General Ricofoli has planted in the garden of
Mr.Argentaro many plants with great success.He would be very greatful 1f he could
receive samples of the following species, that live and could live in the gardens of Mr.
Argentaro, and of which until recently, he did not have sufficient samples.

The following is the list:

Dasylirium acrotrichum
Bigelowi
glaucophylum
Hartwegri
robustum
longifolium
serratifolium

Yucca baccata
brevifolia
angustifolia
canaliculata
conspicua
Desmetiana

glauca
guatemalentis
Parmentieri
rupicola
treculeana
Schotti
Yucatana
Whipplei

They also would like to have seeds of species different than the Cacti. Perhaps you
know some from which you could send us some seeds. We would like to buy them from
you. Perhaps Mr. Eggert can take charge of this business.

The seeds of the Vitis you sent me last year have grown marvelousiv.

Please accept, Mr. Engelmann, my cordial salutations.

Your devout, Translation: Manfred Thurmann

O. Beccari
