Schlechter has written to inform me that most of 
the ordshid species he has received from Mr. Powell are 
composed, of flowers only. 
I have a number of sheets ready to return to you. 
Those should be sent off oy the end of the week. Among 
them you will find some of Johnson's Guatemalan orchids, 
hr. Hose's HIcuadorean orchids, some of Pittier’s Colom¬ 
bian things and another distribution of Philippine or¬ 
chids for the national Museum. 
Please let me know the latest possible date for 
delivery of the manuscript of the Central American Orchid 
flora. If I have a definite time to work to it will be 
easier for me to get my materials in final shape. You 
must realise that I#am a bit up in the air because of 
the Powell-Schlechter combination. A year from this date 
would be satisfactory to me . 
Yours with best wishes.
