Rec. Aug.15th. Ans. Nov. 16th Geneve July 25, 1860 My Dear Doctor, [ received, at last, after months of delay, the box containing your Querus, with various plants that Dr. Asa Gray sent me. I thank you so much for the samples, that will help me greatly in my work and also thank you for the samples of fruit that you were so kind to give me. My trip to Italy became lengthier than I expected and it is not until now that I begin working on the Querus for the Prodromus. I am studying the European species and the masses of varieties that have taken so much of my time. In regards the American species, the notes in your letter of the 1rst. of May, will be of great value. I will always oberve them together with the samples. I fear that some of the Mexican species have been described both by Mertens and Galeotti on one side and by Liebmann on the other. These authors have written very short phrases, without illustrations and without researching the synonyms. I will try to borrow some authentic samples. Already from Copenhagen I have been waiting for those from Liebmann. If you should receive in St. Louis publications from the Universal Library of Geneve, you will see that I included in the bulletin of the scientific portion ( Archives of Physiologic and Natural Sciences), some extracts or abridged articles of your Memoir concerning the Cuscuta and the Cactacee. It is proof that they arrived at their destination and I am very obliged to you. We have had in Europe a very rigorous winter with winds from the Alps in the north. In the Midi winter has been long and rainy. I was prevented by the rains to travel to Naples, which is what can usually be done at the beginning of the season. Also in Palermo we expected to find a shorter spring for the month of April. These rains are not good for my health and I had to spend 3 or 4 months, much to long for my taste, in Naples and Sicily, to recover my health. Thankfully we left that country before the revolutions, which, as you know are not comforting for the foreigner. One day later it would have been impossible to leave the country, because the country retained the ships for the transport of troops. There were battles in the hotels where we saw soldiers kill totally inoffensive people, specially, women. The general hatred of the Sicilians against the Neapolitans, presage an explosion. However under Garibaldi the fight could have been postponed as the Sicilians are not militaristic. They have never had conscription and do not know how to handle arms. In Naples there is complete confusion. I do not know what the outcome will be, but the scientists can only hope that they will be treated as real social outcasts. On my return here I found that everyone is very irritated at the manner in which France becomes enveloped in all areas. We deceived the Swiss in making them first believe that one would rejoin to their territory that little portion of the Savoy between the Lake and Mont Blanc. Following we snatched it back in spite the will of a great majority of the population. One voted under pressure and with the aid of a thousand intrigues, for the union of all the Savoy to France, instead of allowing the different provinces in proximity to Switzerland, to vote independently. Now we will have a considerable French population on our soil ( the ancient Savoyard, our neighbors, became French). This mixture with the indigenous population will bring about frequent quarrels that will perhaps cause an intervention from our powerful neighbor and finally will cause the loss of our independence. The general restlessness is spreading through Europe. France will evidently want to become larger. This country that is so well protected by { | | | ‘ : | | | | | j } | | | À 1 | | | | EE _ | | eee _ _ ER us n à RE | | | CM copyrignt reservea Ë «h Le: 2 nature, 1s never 1s content. The idea that the border should be the Rhine River has very little enthusiasm. In regards to this, the ambitions of Napoleon II, are in accord with the sentiments of all the parties, against Germany. All this 1s not favorable for the studious and for Science. You will notice that very little has been published, specially in France. ; We have lost Mr. Choisy whose health has declined in the past years. Mr. Boissier is in the country. [ read him the article in your letter in regards to the plants that got lost. He was very annoyed. I don’t know if he wrote you about this subject. Mrs. de Candolle thanks Mrs. Engelmann for her wishes. I join her in her compliments. I send you my most devout ones. Alphonse de Candolle PS One of my friends, Mr. Molly, is studying the Diatomeis. He greatly wishes to receive from the United States, some species that one extracts from great depths, by drilling. I do not kow if you have a naturalist that could satisfy Mr. Molly. You will honor a very studious and interesting man who has paralysis of the legs and who works on the assiduity microscope with perseverant assiduity. | | | | | | . À 4 . Lu , Ï !

April 23 Ans. June 27 Geneve, March 30, 1862 My Dear Doctor, It has been a long time since I have given you signs of life. I confess my faults, however there are circumstances that diminish them a little. My studies on the Quercus has been delayed because of the time it took for samples to come from Madrid, originally from Nees, from Liebman in Copenhagen, Laemann from London, Bouland form Paris and many others, which I needed, to establish a good synonymy. During that time your samples stayed with me. I only wanted to send them to you with my completed manuscript. À misfortune has occured in my family. The loss of my daughter, Mrs. Richard Pietet, has discouraged me to do any type of work. My daughter was a very happy young woman of 28 yrs. mother of a very pleasant boy. Unfortunately her health was never good and she succumbed to consumption. Before this event I was busy publishing a volume of my father, named Memoirs and Remembrances of Augustin Pyranus de Candolle, written by him. This occupation was very interesting as it allowed me to read ancient letters received by my father. It made me classify his papers 1n a definite manner; I had to assemble his notes and remove articles that were too personal. In other words the job of editor was very important. Ï had to rewrite a preface that contains new points of view when the studies and the dissapointment threw me into a type of inaction. During this time Mr.Boissier published the Euphorbia in The Prodromes. You will receive these diverse publications. I did remit to your address, via a business in this town, a box which will travel through New York. It is marked with a DC. 6 and it contains: The Quercus that you lent me. A package of dried plants that I beg you to accept. Memoirs and Remembrances of Aug. Pyr. de Candolle. Vol.XV, sect..2, page 1 of the Prodromus on Euphorbia. Biographic notes from Choissy on the vegetation in Huilla in regards the cork, written by my son Cassimir de Candolle ( first pamphlet by this young man). [ also included for Mr.Brendel: “On the Vegetation of the Plateau of Huilla”. Formation of Cork by Cassimir de Candolle. | Please thank Mr. Brendel for his writings on the Quercus, that has been of great value to me, just as your notes and your superb samples. I had a specimen from California drawn that I will publish. You have a sample of this; 1t is the only known one. It is my Quercus Wislizeni, a very distinct species. In general I have very few new species, but their similarity will be new, thanks to the large number of types that I compared. The specimens from Mexico are very numerous. Without them we would not have doubles. Bonpland had not seen the samples from Nees, nor Galeotti those from Bonpland, nor Liebman those of any of his predecessors, nor Seemens who came last. In our specimens from the copyright reserved 2 United States, so well taken care of by Michaux, I noticed some changes. Your collections have labels according to the Prodromes. I kept the fruits that you allowed me to keep. The events in America have contributed to my discontinuing this dispatch. We were afraid of war with England. You in St. Louis are on the limits. At a distance, we are not able to evaluate the state of affairs. The successes of the Union armies make me hope that you are now in peace. We do not understand why those important states that are so close together can have such different ideas from the North. They will never be able to make a good confederation. It is much more difficult than our problems of Sunderland of Switzerland, because these unhappy states are partially isolated and surrounded by the others. Anyway Switzerland is too small for there to be a question of dividing it in two. What is very clear is that all of you have to pay for all that. In regards to this subject I would like to tell you that I own 600 bonds on the City of St. Louis. They have delayed their payments in the past six months. Do you think they will pay more punctualy in the future”? Dr. Mueller works actively with the Euphorbia. He is finding new and interesting things in spite of the studies of Baïllon and Klotzsch. The first is said to be very inexact. Mr. Boissier is busy with an oriental flora, for which he has a large amount of material none of which is natural (?). The Euphorbia should be studied completely and systematically. One will find them, I think, far superior to the Diagnoses, which while passed from one family to the other, is never finished. The first instalment of Vol. X will contain the Begoniace ( that I wrote about a long time ago), and the Laurineae, of which Meissner finished a copy and a few other articles. I hope I can begin its printing in two months. There don’t appear to be many botanical works, specially in France. Chemistry is the only science that is actively published, according to what I am told by one of the principal libraries in Paris. One needs lucrative uses, so that a science becomes useful, and botany does not bring back anything. While thanking you again for your letters on the Quercus, I am as always, my dear Sir, devoted to you.

March 13, 1875 Geneva, March 3, 1876 My Dear Colleague, À long time ago I received the journal Transactions of the Academy of St. Louis that I had requested from you, and more recently the one of the Yucca. The seeds are worth taking care of. As I do not have much room in my home I sent them to Mr. Boissier who will take them to the shore. Last October I asked the editorial Masson to send you the Volume # XVII and the last one of the Prodromus. After this I sent you through the mail an article of mine titled: Reflections on Writings in General.etc. [recall the package very well, that you left at my home, when you departed Geneva. It stayed on the table for a few weeks. Then you asked me to send it somewhere, but I can’t remember where! I think that you told me to send 1t to Paris, where you would get it before leaving for America. I believe the message came from Reuter. I asked Mr. Boïissier if he knew this and he told me he did not. In my correspondence I found nothing. I remember very well having had this package and having sent it to yoù in Europe, as you asked me to. It is unfortunate that I don’t remember where or through what route. IfI recall, the package was wrapped as if it were going on a long trip.Perhaps it was sent through Reuter”? I looked for the remittance slip but could not find it. Someone who you sent, came to tell me to send it again in this or that manner. L'think it is a good idea for you to continue the study of the Quercus. They are beautiful trees and in America they are most interesting. The paleontologists do not like the division according to the maturation and the ovules. One understands why: they say that it is not natural, and do not agree with the characteristics of the species. This is quite true, but if exteriorly they are not natural or visible, then one has to classify the species in a less appropriate manner. I sometimes regret not having used, in the Prodromus, terms such as series or subdivisions to divide the genders based on a single character. This is more artificial and comfortable than natural. Darwin found the sub-orders of Crucipherous and Ombellipherous in the Prodromus not natural and he mocked it. I believe that my father would also have found them artificial, he who had always recommended to unite them with a group of characteristics. But when this is not possible! It would have been necessary to name them subdivisions and then note that they have a single characteristic, not well seen, but isolated and in the Ombellipherous, not very important. | Having finished the Prodromus I again wanted to study Botanical Geography. After thinking about it I will not publish a 2nd edition of my work so that I can give the merit of the date (1855) to Darwin, who had mentioned it frequently. Today the details seem to be conserved but their order will not not help me. I will be satisfied in studying one or two new findings. If my health holds up I will begin studying the Sinilacineae and the Dioscorideae. If you could write to me something about this group, I would appreciate it very much. | . » | copyright reserved D pr | ® My son is working on the Meliaceae for the Flora Braziliensis. Muller is deeply involved with the Rubiaceae for the same publication. Boissier is working on the Flora of the Orient, on which he has written two volumes. His son-in-law, Mr.Barbey, has begun studying botany and is preparing a publication on the Epilubium. Marc Micheli, the translator of Sachs, is writing an article for the Flora Braziliensis. You can see that here we continue working. Really we could not do otherwise, as our resources in books and plants 1s admirable. Mrs.de Candolle thanks you and Mrs. Engelmann for your wishes. Please, I ask you to receive our compliments which I always send you, my dear colleague. Your very devout Alph. de Candolle PS Do you think that your Nelumbium luteum would grow in Geneva? It would be interesting to have a Nelumbium out of a greenhouse. translator M.
