My dear Mr.Ames: 
To-day I ara leaving here,.for San Pedro Sula,with packages 
of specimens for the mall. I am taking them myself as there are many 
of them and I have to get some money. The check for $600.00 was rece¬ 
ived las$ month and I sent It to a merchant In San Pedro who is holding 
the money for me. At last I have been having good Itck with my collec 
ting. I have ,ln this shipment many fine new species and fine specimens 
I feel now that I am In a pretty good orchid country. In fact the 
flowering plants of all kinds and also ferns are more numerous here than 
in many other sections I have been working this year. The rivers are 
still very high. I suppose that you have been seeing some of the Ass. 
Press dispatches to the papers in the States In regard to the storms 
and high waters In Honduras during the past month. 
As I have no wrapping paper here I have made up bungles 
of the specimens and wrapped them in Dried Banana leaves. mxx Each 
bundle contains the dried specimens,flowers In lipuld and wood of the 
dried specimens In that particular bundle. When I get to S.Pedro I 
will make up the regular packages for shipment and will th&l you the 
contents of each. Ther will be something like 8 or 10 packages -Ih 
all. The specimens which I am sending In this shipment are;Orchids; 
Duplicates of Nos.520,522,518,540 and 551 Nos.555,557 to 610 Inc, 
Woody plant specimens Nos.P-674 to 750 inc. 
Hope that this shipment reaches you In good condition. 
With best of regards, 
Yours, truly,
