That is to say are auy of the letters A- G representing the same

1 have checked Up my specimens gent to Dr Schlechter 
and I am sending you a memo of the resuxt. it is astonishing now 
were 
few duplicate flowers of same species xxndt under different numbers, 
some 6_b covering the total. This shows how carefully I compare 
them before determining to send them on. when you remember that my 
collection embraces some 4ouu plants I think this a good record. 
The missing 16 undetermined numbers have been sent 
to Dr Schlechter with request that he hurry them u^. 
In a few days I will send you another package, some 
of which will yrove yuite interesting, I feel sure. 1 have not 
felt too " chi^jjy n the ±>ast few days; then the usual monthly re- 
i , \ . \ 
yurts of our station have had to be made and sent in, which has 
ke±/t me busy, t - \V 
The package of mounting ^a^er arrived today, Sill 
use it on xkk: specimens for you whexx I muunt them in the future. 1 
have had to use my ya^er laterly because I was out of yours,as I 
wrote you. 
Very sincerely yours
