My dear Dr Ames: 
I have several of your recent letters with only parts 
of them replied to. I have been very busy with my garden lately 
incident to my recent move is my appology. I will now try and close 
/ 
them all up. 
I have received the photo of Masd Livingstonftana, Reich.— 
an examination of this under my large 4 inch,(X 8 magnification liens 
leads me to still believe that my Do 78 { flower sent you in mine of 
Oct 8 1 was the M.Livingstoniana. Perhaps you note the great simi¬ 
larity of shape. It also had the maroon eyes on sepals, as you may 
observe from the dried flower. The vegetable parts are to my best 
memory the same. 
How would it do to write Schlechter an ultimatim, saying 
substantially “ that unless he publishes his determinations by 
.Jan 1st,;, that I will send my specimens to you for determination and jsx 
// 
and publication. That I have come to this,because of his unneces¬ 
sary delay in doing it although he his assured me 4n many of his 
letters that the Ms was practically ready for t he printer s, one of 
them as far back as last November, several of them since;and one 
particul rly,written while on his vacation in July,in which he assured 
me that it would be ready on his return to Be rlin in August . 
I have a letter from Dankester in which he says that he 
will send you specimens, and thanking me for my instructions of how 
to make a good Herb specimen. ( I had written him a long explanation 
of what was one,, and how to make it. )
