Memorandum of the letter which I propose for Dr Schlechter, 
Make any suggestions you may see proper, 
'W '' i * 
My dear Dr Schlechter: 
I hare entered into a contract with Dr Oakes 
lines, of Boston, to make a complete Orchideological survey of the 
Isthmus of Panama- he financing the undertaking. My men are now 
out going thither and yon in pursuit of this end. 
As it is incompatible with this contract that 
I should send any specimens from this time to any other person or garden 
than to him; specimens in future, can 1^, only be procured from him. 
A 
In severing ou r direct relations, I wish to 
thank you for your uniform courtesy and to assure you that I will be 
pleased to receive letters from you at any time,and to serve you in 
any way that I can consistently, or that will not interfere with my 
obligations to Dr Ames. 
Very sincerely yours
