By dear Dr. Sehleehter: 
Under separate cover 1 aa sending to you 
to-day one hundred Philinpine orchids. I arc. sorry that the same 
species occurs more than once in several cases, hut I have sent 
complete representations of V&noverbergb*s and Webers collections 
so far as these are ready for distribution. You will remember that 
I promised complete sets without regard to duplication or to the 
more common species. 1 am also sorry that I am unable to send to 
you a larger number of specimens at this time, but I have been so 
busy with outside work that I have been obliged to give up every 
effort to finish my studies on the different collections from 
which you !?ro eventually to receive duplicates. I am already at 
worK or, another package for you whioh I will send on Just as soon 
as it is big enough to be worth your attention. Undoubtedly there 
will be additions to your herbarium in some of the later packages 
if the pr enen t one is disappointing. At least the quality of the 
specimens 1 b &1dov 6 tho 
,-enzel who is collecting in Leyte I receiving 
some interesting Mterl.il and as Vanoverbergh has removed to 
another province in Luzon we may expect something new from him. 1 
think Vanoverbergh is a good collector, and when he has had more 
experience 1 feel sure that he will give UB very satisfactory re- 
suits. 
Please send me some of your material as soon as conven¬ 
ient. In the meantime 1 will do my best to supply you with another 
package equal to the one non on its way to you.
