355 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass, 
October 24th, 1921. 
My Bear Dr. Standley: 
As I finish work on the differ¬ 
ent genera or on groups of species would it not be 
we 11 to return the National Herbarium material? If 
a record of the shoot numbers has been kept this plan 
would be a simple one to carry out and would relive me 
of anxiety and make room in oases that ar© already 
pretty full* The only objection to a return of a part 
of the different loans is that the recording system 
may b® upset, 
I h&v® just come across another 
Cuban element in Harry Johnson's Alts Ver&paz specimens. 
Yours sincerely.
