Dr. H. L. Britton, 
Director, K. Y. Bot. Garden, 
New Y'crk City. 
My dear Dr. Britton: 
I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of 
your esteemed letter of Vugust 13th, and also your pamphlets 
’’further Botanical studies in Trinidad" and "The Cacti cf 
Trinidad," both of which have given me much desired informa¬ 
tion. Very many thanks. 
It is my purpose to issue early this winter a bulletin 
on the newly discovered Orchids of Panama; and also at some 
date during the coming Spring or Summer to issue a pamph¬ 
let embracing all Orchids which have been discovered in Panama 
up to date; with names, botanical descriptions and comments. 
Determinations by Rolfe of Kew and Schlechter of Berlin. It 
will be my pleasure to send you copies of both. 
Very sincerely yours, 
/s/ C, W. Powell
