February 5, 1335, 
M y dear Lankesters 
lour welcome letters dated January 
21 and 25 came in this morning, I was delighted to have 
evidence of your continued existence. 
You enclosed in one ^f your letters 
a couple of orchid scraps, one a Pleurothallls the other 
a Stelis, I suppose you wish to have the names of these? 
I shall give them a onee-over at the herbarium this after¬ 
noon. 
If you are interested in ’’succulents^ 
I feel that the thing to do is to write to Mr, R* Grey, 
Superintendent of the Cuban Garden at Soledad nerr the 
city of Cienfuegos, Mr, Grey will be pleased to send to 
you anything we have in the Garden if there are dupli¬ 
cates, S imply mention my name as having authorized you 
yo write. 
Another copy of no* 6 of vol* 5 of 
Bot, Hus, Leafl, will be sent to you. 
My impression is that w© are regard¬ 
ing Hasdevallla astuta, Gaskel, and erythrochaete as being 
one species. 
With all good wishes.
