Dear Sir:

With today's mail I am sending you a small work about the analysis of wine as
well as the Agricultural Report of 1865 with my article on grape disease. I mentioned
therein your research on "mildew'' without, however, ever‘, having seen your article in
the St. Louis Transactions of the Academy of Science, since in Washington (Patent
Office Library, etc.) the volume could not be found. I am Just in the progress of
publishing a book about fermentation and chemics of wine. I should, therefore, be
very grateful if you would send me something about your research (with illustrations).
I once studied in the garden of the Agriculture Department leaves of Vitis labrusca

with black spots; the fungus had the following appearance under my microscope:

with pe:

Through political maneuvers and the meanness and ignorance of the Commissioner Newton,
I lost my position as chemist and am working at present at the Patent Office; however,
I have the intention to move next spring (May) to my home town Zürich, and to open a
boarding school for young Americans and British if I succeed in being able to take
some pupils with me. I am married for 15 years to an American and since I am here,

I worked as professor at colleges in New England as well as in the South and should be
well @ualified to discipline "young America". I taught chemistry for three years, etc.
at the University of Vermont and my dear friend, Geo. D. Marsh (who is now in Italy)
spoke very often of you and gave me letters directed to you and to Dr. Wislicenus at

a time when I contemplated to move west. I wrote to Prof. Litton, a chemist, I

knew, who advised me against moving to St. Louis, and so I dropped the matter. I have
recommendations from Agassiz, Lilliman, Dana, W. Shepard, Jos. Henry etc. and would

be grateful if you would bring me into contact with parents who would be inclined to

and of the Zürich University in order to include these with my circular.

Respectfully yours,

N.B. Dr. Henry Barnard, Commissioner of Education in Washington would also be

willing to give information concerning me.
