Siguatepeaue.Honduras, 
December 16,1933. 
Dear Mr.Ames: 
The mall from the States arrived yesterday and no 
letter from you or a check from the University. I can't understand 
what has happened. I have not had a letter from you since yours of 
November First. I managed to get a small loan to-day so am sending on t 
the rest of the material I brought over from Santa Cruz de Yojoa with 
me. Package No. One contains the following Orchid Nos.; 570,571, 
595,608,617, 621,622,623,625,626 and 627. Woody plant NOS.P-717 to 
728 lnc. Package No.2 contains wood and bark specimens. 
I did not get enough money to help me in the field and any 
way I feel that surely the check you promised will reach here in a few 
days and so I am staying here until it arrives. As I stated in my 
letter of the 14th. I am sending the check,as soon as it arrives,to 
Tegucigalpa to be deposited in the bank there and then I can get 
money here on a check. These people in Siguatepeque simply will not 
take a personal check drawn on a bank in the States. They will 
accept one on a bank in the country. 
Trusting that this shipment reaches you in good condition 
and that I shall have a letter from you and a cheek from the University 
in a few days, I am, 
Yours trtly.
