My reference to Odontoi£lommB 2flESllli simply to place stress 
on the fact that such a lovely thing had escaped notice previuos to 
your discovery of it, I have not attempted to identify the species, 
hut Mien I do I most certainly hope that it will prove to he a per¬ 
petual reminder of Powell and not a synonym, There is no reason why 
Schleohter should have slipped on this. 
Your explanation of the One id i uni mix-up is probably the correct 
one. 
Your reply regarding the missing numbers is reassuring, I am 
quite ready to wait for the plants to bloom. 
As soon as possible a check list of your bottled goods will be 
made up and forwarded to you. 
The gold beetles and pots came with the other materials. You 
may be sure that Pauline will be delighted with your note regarding 
the beetles* 
The Eexa&esmia question will be answered on my next trip to 
Boston, Is*nt this summer vacation habit a nuisance? I would so love 
to be able to go down-stairs and answer your question at once, 
I do not understand the lack of mailing-tubes, I will send an 
additional supply at once with large size bottles. We must keep this 
alcoholic material coming along, because without it we cannot hope 
to make satisfactory plates of the Panama orchids, 
I have written this letter after a long hard day, so please par¬ 
don any omissions. 
Yours faithfully,

Everybody joins in send/to you and your daughter the best of
