Mailing tubes for bottles will be forearded to you in 
a few days. I will also send you the formula for use that we 
have found most satisfactory. 
I have written to Dr. Schlechter to inform him that 
the Kew set of your orchids is here. You understand of course 
that this set will not be worked up here, but will be most 
useful in guiding me in case new species come in from other 
sources. I have simply written on the names that I have re¬ 
ceived from you, and when the species that are new are publish¬ 
ed by Schlechter the set will be returned to Kew. As you re¬ 
ceive determinations from Schlechter and forward the lists to 
me I will place the names on the Kaw set and when everything 
is identified and the novelties published X will return the 
Kew set. This will make available for Unglieh orehidologists 
about 170 specimens of your collection and they will, as I 
understand it.be equivalent to types. 
Please keep material coming to me as rapidly as your 
busy life allows. In return I will 3end you from here things 
that will help you and all of mjt publications. 
As I work through your specimens I will send you notes 
that may be of interest. 
Youra sincerely,
