Dear Furtado, 
After a very full month of travel, I am now waiting for 
my ship to sail, and want to write you a few lines. 
At the Arnold Arboretum I met Croizat, but did not have the 
opportunity of discussing types with him. I find that he had a 
legal training, which may complicate his outlook on the subject. 1 
At New York I met Dr Gleason, who spoke of your letters to 
him, and appreciatively of your work on nomenclature. He said 
he did not think you would have any serio\ s difficulty about 
the colour question if you come to New Yo]k, though you might 
have in the south. I am sure he would he],p you in any way he 
could. He is a very alert and also kindly person. 
At Washington Dr Maxon told me that they did not have the 
Gardens Bulletin at the Smithsonian Institution (the Division of 
Plants of the U.S.National Museum), though they send us their 
Contributions. They said that the Bulletin went to the Dept 
of Agriculture. Probably we should send it to both. We can 
discuss this when I come to Singapore. There seems to be some 
needless rivalry between the systematic work of the Dept of 
Agriculture and of the Smithsonian. 
I met Dr Foxworthy and Dr Copeland at Berkeley. The former 
is continuing his work on Diperocarps, chiefly bibliographic, and 
would like a copy of the following ### pages if we have the book 
in Singapore (I think we have it): 
Lanessan - Plantes Utiles des Colonies Francaisea, 1 (1886) 
pp.297—302, so far as they refer to Dipterocarpaceae. 
Will you please mention this to Mr Corner, and send the copy £o 
Dr Foxworthy if possible (762 Arlington Avenue, Berkeley, Cal.)
