Here is a piece of news .that will probibly upset yon as much as it 
has me for the past month: Sunday,Oct.g# 30th. is lational Election 
a ay in Honduras and it seems almost certain that soon after this 
election-no matter which side wins-thal£the country will he thrown £ 
into a state of revolution. I understand that the American Minister 
has advised both parties that the change in government -if it comes 
at this time-must he made peacefully. I have asked the Minister to 
wire me;if trouble comes;in time for me to get into safe country. 
The date Aro^ things to start seems to have been set for November 
5 to 10. I surely do hope that nothing comes of these rumors but 
they are disturbing to say the least. I shall make a shipment of 
all specimens,ready to ship, Nov.First. There will be no Mail 
movement of any kind if we do have a revolution. 
I shall make an effort to get the specimens you want 
I mean the ones you mention in these letters. 
With best regards, I am, 
Yours truly,
