Dear Mr. Schweinfurthi 
I am enclosing a copy of a letter received 
today from a man unknown to me, although Mr. Hunter, to whom he 
refers, is one of my most esteemed friends. Of course, I 
know nothing of the cirsumstances mentioned, and am merely 
sending the letter to you with the belief that you will wish to 
see it. I presume it is a case of weariness resulting from 
long-deferred hope. In such isolated places, away from all 
botanical connections, the ogly satisfaction that a collector 
can derive from his work is in obtaining names for the plants 
that he finds. , 
I have not made Mr. Bouche any suggestions as to sending 
specimens elsewhere, or rather have tried to discourage him from 
it, and, as a matter of fact, I do not know where else he might 
send them. 
I sincerely hope that the type print sent you the other 
day may prove, at last, to be the proper onel I have become 
thoroughly disgusted with my stupidity or carelessness in the 
matter. 'Macbride is now either at Geneva or on his way there. 
He did not photograph orchids there at the time of his previous 
visit, and perhaps there are none there to beceive attention. 
If, however, there are important orchid types in either of the 
Geneva herbaria, it might be well to drope him a note at the 
Botanical Garden.
