My dear Professor Ames: 
On August 15th. I mailed you five packages 
of specimens from Siguapeteque. Ho. One contains Orchid specimens 
in numbers from 208 to 230 Inc. Package Ho.# 5 contains specimens 
in Alcohhl. The specimens In my next shipment will begin with Humber 
# 84 to conform with your Instructions as per your letter of July 
31st» I have a few duplicates of the specimens sent in the 15th. 
which are not qute ready and these will be Included in the next shipms 
nt. I hope that you will find some new things amoung this lot. 
Your letter of Aug. 8th. was received Aug.15th 
It came thru in record time. I am very glad that my efforts are 
producing the satisfactory results that they seem to be. I assure 
you that I am Just as anxluus to receive your reprots on the shipments 
I make to you as you are to receive the specimens. I was sure that 
my shipment of July 25 th. contained some very interesting specimens 
and especially was I anxious to have your report on Ho.188 as I 
was so very much interested in this specimen. When I was in Las Limas 
in April I found the plant of the L.Libyana without flowers but with 
ah very large seed pod which interested me very much so that when I 
returned to Las Limas in July the first place I went was to the Yery 
large Oak tree containing this plant. There was one blossom and a 
large bud on the plant. I took the entire plant back to my camp and 
put the flower in the press. The plant was then placed in a shady 
location until the other flower opened. I shall be very glad to recei 
ve the Leaflets you promise me in your of Aug.8th. My assistant is 
a native boy who has been in the school of an American at Mnas de Oro 
for several years and speaks,reads and writes English, Always when I 
receive a letter from you his first quBStion is: " Mr.Edwards ,did 
the specimens arrive in good shape and was Mr.Ames pleased with them?' 1 
He takes a greatM interest in the work.
