If you wish to send Mr. Oorrell with such provision 
as may seem desirable for his expenses, I shall be 
glad to facilitate his work in every way, and provision 
can be made for the despoil t of a set of my material 
at Harvard in return for a A set of what he may collect in¬ 
dependently. Material we might collect together would 
naturally be so divided. I doubt that it would be de¬ 
sirable for us to remain together all the time, especially 
in places where the orchid flora is sparse. Working inde- 
oendently, perhaps from the same headquarters, it would 
be possible to increase greatly the amount of material 
gathered. 
Steyermark is now working, I suppose, on the slopes 
of the Volcano of Tajumulco, highest mountain of Guate¬ 
mala. From there he will go to the north coast region 
for several weeks before returning to the States, about 
the first of April. 
Sincerely yours
