Bear Dr. Corner: 
. This is in reply to your letter of March 3, 1938 
(No. 91/38) . I regret very much this delay, due to 
multiferous work since I arrived. 
The herbarium specimens of ^icu's totaling 113 
sheets loaned to you had been received in good con¬ 
dition and I am glad to know that these specimens have 
been of value to your studies. In the shipment I also 
received 252 duplicates of miscellaneous plants from your 
institution. 
I also received 12 seeds of Borassus sundaicus* I 
have them planted immediately and hope they will germi¬ 
nate soon, so that I could use them for Malacafian grounds. 
Regarding Sandoricum koetjape , I have already given 
orders to collect the Specimens. Vhen ready, I will 
send them to you. Unfortunately, I do not have any speci¬ 
men which Merrill got Hochreutiner to compare with the 
type 3. koet.jape . 
On June 20 of this month, a friend of mine by the name 
of lose Ma, Aspino is leaving for Singapore on the 8 S 
VICTORIA. He is being sent to Singapore as a special Com¬ 
mercial Attache of the Philippine Government. Mr. Uspino 
is very much interested in plants particularly orchids and 
during his off hours, he would like to visit the gardens 
there, particularly your botanic gardens. I shall greatly 
appreciate any help you may give him while in Singapore. 
I presume Mr. Holt turn and Mr. 
H /sf 
Anderson are now back
