Dear Professor Ames: 
I wish to thank you for Schedulae Orchidia- 
nae No. 10 that you were kind enough to remember me with. I find 
it highly interesting reading, and it makes me wish that I were 
back in the tropics again. Still, perhaps I may be before the 
end of this year. I want to go to Ecuador as soon as Macbride 
comes home, but when that it will be, no one, not even he, knows. 
Valerio I know would enjoy receiving a copy of your paper. 
His address is Prof. Juvenal Valerio, Alajuela, Costa Rica. 
Today we received from Schunke 120 specimens of Peruvian 
orchids. There were to be 200 or 300, I forget which, but he 
iaE sending only so many. I suspect he may have sold some to 
Weigel, for the latter has been offering Schunke plants for sale- 
at about twice Schunke 1 s price, as usual. I have not yet open¬ 
ed the package, but I shall try to get the specimens mounted 
immediately, and send them on to you. I hope the material is 
ample enough so that we can send you some duplicates. 
S 
incerely yours
