My dear Professor Ames: 
To-day I am sending you three packages. 
Nos.One and Two contain Orchid Specimens In Alcohol and Ho.3 
contains Orchid specimens;No.344-Contained In the last shipment- 
Nos.348 to 362 Inc. and Woody Plant Specimens Nos.556 and 557. 
I hope these reach you In good condition 
and that you will find some interesting material In the ship¬ 
ment. 
I have not had a letter from you for a very 
long time and am somewhat worried about the last shipment made 
Jan.10. I learned just the other day that there had deen a strike 
in the Post Office at Tegucigalpa beginning about Jan.12 and lasting 
for some three weeks. All the packages shipped out of the country 
by P.P.;regardless of where they hare mailed must go to the P.0, 
in Tegucigalpa and re-shipped from there. Please let me know as 
soon as possible If the shipment reached you all o.K. 
I am leaving for Comayagua In the morning, 
Will begin collecting there at once. 
With very best of regards, I am, 
P.S. Have you some leaflets to send me? 
Very truly yours,
