My dear Dr lanes. 
I am now feeling " O.K." again and I will refer 
to matters left out of my letter of last Sunday. 
Allow me to say to you how much I enjoyed your article in the 
last number of The Orchid Review. The points were well taken 
and convincing. 
In specimens sent you,I think you will find 
ho 209 Lpidend verecundum, Schtr, to be very near akin to E, 
strobiliferum, Reich.f.ipage 40 of Fac I of Orchidaceael.lt 
appears as if it is a smaller plant and 1 have not se n it with 
more than 0 flowers, which are white. 
l would suggest’tnat you will send me a package 
of white mounting sheets, mine are lighter weight than yours, 
and i think for the heavy specimens easy win noia u y betxer. 
I only run out of them a few specimens back and used my paper, 
in order to make you a nice "welcome home" fascicle. 
I have about a dosen mounted,awaiting a list 
from Sehlechter, which he wrote me would be sent at once on his 
return to Berlin about first week in August, so I am now on the 
look out for it. 
My man was out looking after the Selenipedium 
chica on 5hursday end .he says that no flowers in sight as yet, 
will go again about the middle ox the week. 
Refer to Ho 29 Epid Hunterii, Schtr, in ICew 
specimens and make your memorandums from that specimen. I am 
very fearful that 1 will not be able to send you one. My plant
