Tae slatted dl Tiag fr uae lias arrivedana is a beauty. It is not 
like I thought it would be,it is so much lighter and handier. I 
am sure that it will answer equally as well as the metal one and 
therefore I will not need one. 
did you receive the letter of March 26th with four specimens of 
mosses, vitn request that you would have them determined for me ? 
You have not made mention of their arrival, hence this query, 
do not forget the adhesive tape ( plaster) and send me -o^e before 
you leave. I am nearly out. 
Make a memorandum to ascertain whether Kew has issued a " Hand-list 
of Orchids, contained in ©he Royal Botanic Gardens " of later date 
t ° ' ^ai, 1904, If so,will you kindly send me one. I have the 
1904 issue and it has been of great service to me. 
I would like also to receive the Kew Buletin. I wrote them onee 
a,-., enquired ix it was sold to subscribers, but did not have a -re¬ 
ply. Ascertain for me will you. 
Rhea, you see dr Scfeleckter, if he has not already put his Ifov et Cr 
of Panama Orchids to press, please stir* him up on it. Go over any 
doubtful ones with him, a d thus eliminate future corrections or 
synonyms. Act for me as if 'it were your own. You have full author 
ity and liberty of action. I am to pay the cost of issue. 
There is a mail in from Kew York knscxyx tomorrow, I do so hope to h 
have a letter from dr S with a list- if so,I will get off to you by 
first mail the remaining specimens, now ready and undetermined. You 
will thus receive them close to but before you leave.
