My Dear Sir

It is impossible to express the gratification –
which  Vgl. Humboldt an Lambert, Paris, 17. August 1820 (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, A. B. Lambert Correspondence).

 [Close]
your highly interesting & learned Letter
afforded me; as
their [sic] is no man I am so proud of hearing from as yourself and
when ever you will do me the honour of writing to me, it will
prove the highest gratification I can experience.

I should have wrote you long before
this, but having been at my Country Residence till within
these few weeks, and having since my arrival in Town experienced
a severe attack of fever, occassioned [sic] by catching cold, has prevented
me from having that pleasure.

Many thanks for your observation on
the Aracacha, but it came to [sic] late for insertion in my  Lambert 1821.

 [Close]
paper

published in the last number of the journal of Arts & Sciences
of the Royal Institution . you will see by that, I have ventured
to give some account of the Native Country of the Potatoe [sic],
Solanum tuberosum. whether the materials from which I have
drawn my conclusions from [sic] be sufficiently decisive I leave you to
judge.

The creation of the edition humboldt digital datasets is an ongoing process. The scope and accuracy of the data grows as the project progresses. We are always grateful for any additions, corrections and error reports. Please write to edition-humboldt@bbaw.de.
