November 19, 1931. 
lly dear Mr.Edward** 
Your letters of October 26 and November 6, are just 
at band. Unless the revolt has given rise to delays and troubles in the 
mail, the specimens you are sending should arrive in a few days and give 
me another thrill or two. I would have sent you a list of the names of the 
last package some days ago if it had not been for the fact that several 
of the species have been difficult to identify. I enclose a list that will 
give to you a pretty fair idea of what has been determined. 
Some time ago we sent to you some driers , newspaper 
stock and bottles. Today I packed up ahother box of bottles. Five of these 
are of the preserve jar type and inside of each you will find several 
phials for the smaller flowers. It may be well to send along another box 
of different sizes of bottles in a day or two. I dont want t lis part of 
your work to be slighted for want of the proper contd ners. And'I hope 
you will send more flowers of each number when the specimens gathered 
warrant doing so. I am sorry that you have not found more material of the 
Cycnoches with a fingered lip. You s em to pick up the female form. The 
males must be there. They just must be.I kow they are there. The lo£ and 
124 are females. ',hy should they not grow in the same clump. Or onthe same 
tree. That there are no males in the clumps is what rouses my anger. How 
do those females get fertilized. And you say you are sending a fruit of 
224. 
In your letter of the 6th Kowember, you say there is 
not going to be a revolution. Oue papers have repor^t of many killed as 
W 
a result of fighting in San Pedro Sula, Trixillo and vicinity.
