September 23,1933. 
My dear Mr.Ames: 
In the morning my assistant will leave here for 
Potrerillos with Five packages of specimens which he will mail to 
you. The contents are as follows: Pa. No.One contains Orchid Nos.: 
230,520,499,523,524,525 and 528,duplicates of Numbers previously 
shipped. Also Nos.530 to 552 Inc.and 554. Pa.No.2 contains Orchid 
Nos.:518,519,521 and 528 duplicates of Numbers previously shipped 
and Nos:540 and 556. Pa.No.3 contains Orchid flowers in liguid. 
You will find the following Numbers in liquid which are not in the 
shipment of dried specimens; 555,557 and 558. These specimens are 
not yet ready fior shipment and I am afraid that the flowers in lipuid 
would not stand up until I am ready to make next shipment. Pa.No.4 
contains Woody paint specimens Nos.;P-641,643,649,650 662 to 673 inc. 
Pa.No.5 contains wood and bark specimens of the Woody plants shipped. 
The rivers are still very high and it is impossible 
to get animals to carry out the cargos so am sending these five pack¬ 
ages out by my assistant and a Mozo. I have not had a letter from 
you for some time but expect that the assistant will bring letters 
back from Potrerillos. I suppose that you have had a check sent for 
the payment of Sept.First and that he will get it now. If it comes 
I shall make a trip to San Pedro Sula and get the money there. I am 
working our way down the Cofcayagua river valley;that is I am working 
the highlands;and will get to the neighborhood of San Pedro Sula 
sometime about the middle of next month. As that place will be our 
nearest town for some time I think that it would better for you to 
send my mail there. In fact I am having all my mail sent there after 
October First. If the check for Sept.has not already been sent,please 
I
