Allow me, dear Sir Redmond, to offer to the trustees of the publ. Library ten copies
of my enlarged English Edition of Dr Wittsteins organic-chemical constituents of plants.
I send this little contribution in acknowledgement of the continued generous aid,
experiences by you & and your cotrustees in the furtherance of my researches through
the aid of your noble Library, thinking also that thus I may offer some little help
for your interchanges abroad. The work is my own property, being brought out entirely
at my private expense; I am this quite free to furnish additional copies should it
be desired — of course in such case gratuitously.
