My dear Dr iaes: 
I bare your letter of December 5th by this afternoons 
mail. Inclosure of the * 110. Express orders is acknowledged, and is 
perfectly satisfactory. This is just a hurry letter to advise you of 
the receipt of the enclosed letter from Dr Sohlechter, with determine- 
tions and corrections*and to get them to you, I am sen^fhim the ♦ 30. 
as per enclosed copy of my letter as he advised me of the completion 
of the manuscript and that he was awaiting the promised money. 
You will note that I did not touch upon the matter of 
discontinuance in sending specimens I , I will just stop! 
as the great thing now is to get out his pamphlet. You will also note 
' — 15 * 
the cancellation of all lesser numbers than 257, in order to get the 
A old 
lists printed at once. When I send you any of these mutliB c numbers 
I will give them a larger number, consecutive with your series; and I 
will refer you to the old number if it is one of the Kew set- otherwise 
it will make no difference. 
After about a week I will write Dr Schlechter telling 
him of our new arrangement,and that under it X feel that I am under the 
obligation to send all future specimens to you. This will give him 
time to receive my letter of today with the money,and to put the matter 
in the hands of the printers. Thus insuring that he will not hold it 
up. Sub-rosa,I do not trust the Germ ns, mot to engage in a little 
spite work. 
Tomorrow night I will prepare and send you all of the 
sheets I have,covered by these determinations, and some others of 
previous determinations. I will also reply to your letter of the 5th. 
Sincerely yours
