Packages Nos.5 & 6-Orchid Flowers in Lipuid. Package No.7 Wood and 
Bark material. 
As I have no man with me now w££lt whom I could trust 
to make the trip and hoping that I should find a check here I made 
P+ c ^ eck has no ^ arrived. I shall have to wait here until 
it does arrive as I am entirely out of funds. I surely hope that the 
reason that the check,you wrote me you were having mailed the First 
week of November,has not been lost and that the delay is due again 
™ carelessness on the part of some one at your end of the line if 
w f s ® a il6& early in November you had better order nonpayment 
fH'snn^nn * ca ^ e rae * 8n December First the Arboretum was

material on hand but was not able to mall it yesterday with the other 
packages as I did not have the money to buy stamps. There is no one

reach here in XM a few days and I am dn hopes that the check will 
arrive at that time. Yesterday I sent a telegram to the Post Master 
K? askln £ him if there was any mail there for rae and he replied 
that there was nothing. So the chance of the check being there is 
out. The last check sent me was sent out by ordinary mail M3 which 
is a very bad thing to do with letters containing checks.lt was not
