Jtr dear i!f« Powell* 
Jmio 27th, 1923, 
It seeing ages ago since my last letter 
to you was entrusted to the postal authorities. In the mean- 
t*ry I Imre been busy with the twenty-fifth reunion of ay 
rurvard Cl:*s < of *95 and with a hiriiryd. and one other things 
.foreign to the orchid realm,

©are fully aae find that the herbarium ryacirien no. 229, said

lm ‘ example, how many plants of 229 did you have in your 
garden? If more than one plant, are they all alive? Here is a 
m&«tor lor your intensive attention, 1 hope that you have the 
original plant and possess a pretty clear idea of what you 
sent to Schiechter.
