TRANSLATION
ALtona, 26th June 1868
Dear Dr. Engelmann,

I was glad to receive your letter with the information concerning Dr. Bolander
and because of your recommendation I wrote him the enclosed letter which I am sure
will meet with your approval. Apart from the desired specimens of Mex. liverworts, I
also enclosed a Florula Hepat. Novo-Granatensis for Dr. Bolander which might be an
incentive for him to make a similar enumeration. I should be glad to undertake such
a work if it can be done on a commission basis, even though my time pretty much
filled up. Last year, when I was in Paris I let myself be talked into working on a
new comprehensive Flora of France which Dr. Fournier is planning to publish through
Ballitre. Of course, I only have to do with the liverworts and have to enter in my
manuscript the localities from several shipnents received from France, but, thank
God, it is now finished. But the Strassburg herbarium is waiting for my help since
November and that part is not even sorted in single sheets, but is still all together
and awaits sorting. In August, Schimper showed me two piles two-hands high of things
from Guatemala which Dr. L'Herminier collected there; since I also have already
received samples of these, I thought it would be easy to determine the herbarium and
I would be finished with it by the end of Spring; later one I was sent a small
portion of raw material from Madeira packed in cigar box. Can you imagine my shock
when I found later in front of the house door someone unloading a crate weighing
half a centner containing liverworts which had still been found in the Strassburg
herbarium® However, when I think of the immense material which Schimper collected
during the years in order to complete his flora palaeontologica which he contracted
to do for a Parisian publisher, then it seems that the work left for me is insig-
nificant. The geology collection in Strassburg is good and beautiful; Paris does
not have much of it.

Therefore, I have plenty of work, however, if there would not amass a lot
of new things, I should be able to work my way through without having my other
work suffer, and I should be possible, if you would inform Dr. Bolander to that
effect, that I could help him determine his collection. From the enclosed compari-
son you will see that I am finished with Bolander's things and if you find an empty
spot in it was the faulty material since I could not find any

any developed fruit parts which are absolutely necessary for determination. I

I made drawings of all new species with the exception of the Grimaldi California
and Finb... Bolanderi et Leseurii austin (californica Hampe ms) since it was too
much trouble for me to make coloured drawings which don't have any special interest
for me. Anyway, the leafy liverworts and the Marchantia where I have to cover large
areas symmetrically with color or to tint with miniature paintings, 1 consider a
thorn in my thigh, even though they have a pretty effect as a drawing and I avoid
these as much as I can. I have to draw 10 species this year for the flora Danica,
of which I have finished 9; amont them is also Aneura palmata but it took me a long
time to get a good picture. My won collection of hand drawings of liverworts
consists of 11 handy volumes with some thousand leaves in qauarto where the drawings
were not only drawn exactly under the prism with 17/1 or 35/1 faithfulness, but
just as faithful and dependable as the original. The ones I kept mostly in my
collection are such which I can always use to compare them with originals in cases
of doubt. Through this collection, to which I always add new ones, it is easier
for me to finish a determination of Hepaticae as would otherwise be the case.

Please forgive me if I took up so much of your time with this long letter
and give my best regards to your friends. Should you come to Hamburg sone time,

I should be very happy if you would visit me.

Altona, Hochschulstr. No. 3

Your Dr. Gottsche.
