255 Commonwealth Are ., Uoston, Mass* Nov. 12, 1921. 
My dear Dr, Standley: 
I enclose my check for $250. as 
a contribution toward your trip to Salvador. Dr. Maxon, 
as I remember his instructions, requested that the 
check oe made payable to the Smithsonian Institution. 
If this is not right, xindly inform me. 
I understand that you may accompany Mr. Powell to 
Chiriqui. Such a trip iaught be very profits ole from the 
point of view of orchids. I hope you will find it pos¬ 
sible to socoaip&ny Mr. Powell. I have just received a 
long letter from him, a copy of which has, I understand^ 
been forwarded to you. It would seem that my deterraiiat- 
ation to make amends if any were necessary won for us 
Mr. Powell’s co-operation. 
Schlechter has oegun to send ini-tracings of critical 
species. I have just sent him funds to make possible a 
stay of two weeks in Vienna. He will hire an artist and 
make copies for me of Heichenoachian types that I must 
have before I take up Stelis and Pleurothallis. I suppose 
this trip will also give him an opportunity to work up 
some of Mr. Powell's Panama plants. Uberrim a Dices I
