Comayagua, 
Honduras. 
March Third 1933. 
My dear Mr.Ames: 
To-day I am sending you four packages by p.p. Ho. 
one contains dried Orchid specimens Nos.363 to 365 inc. Nos. 2 
and 3 contain V/oody Plant Specimens Nos.558 to 583 inc.;package 
No.4 contains Specimens of Orchid flowers in Liquid. 
As I told you in my letter of Feb. 14th. I came 
over to Comayagua on Feb.15th. and have been working everyday 
since. The Orchids are very scarce in this country hut the blooming 
Woody plants have been plentiful and I have collected many new 
varieties of these. I have,you will note, found but 3 varieties 
of Orchids. 
The saleyy chaek for March received yesterday.This 
is the last payment under the existing contract. Mr. Ames, I really 
am very much destressed because I have not heard from you in so long 
a tirae-Not since yours of Jan.20th.i am very anxious to learn what 
your plans are for me for next year. 
I am trying to make this last month of my contract 
with you the best of the year as to production. We,must of course, 
take into consideration,when accounting the results of the year, 
that there were two ### months of revolution during which time I 
was able to do very little work compared to the work done during 
the rest of the year. 
Trusting that I may hear from you in a very few 
days and that this shipment reaches you in good condition, I am, 
Sincerely yours, 
/
