Your suggestion relative to the Colombial orchids 
would meet with my hearty approval if it ware not for 
the fact that I have a large number of spademens and 
as there would, I think, he soma risk in the present 
unsettled state of the world in sending them abroad# 
It yon could only have prepared for me a lis& of the 
numbers of the Lehman orchids with your identifications 
you would aid me materially. 
I do not like the suggestion that I taae economic 
material in exchange for my Philippine orakius sent 
to the Berlin Museum, My reason for not liking it is 
ba ed on the fact that I am anxious to have my ex¬ 
change material bring in all of the orchids that are 
available# You will unoerotanfi this I am sura when 
you stop to think that I need material for compari¬ 
sons and when you remember that very few ootaniats 
have given the orchids close attention in this count¬ 
ry* 
Awaiting further information as to folia Qrohifiacel 
Yours very sinedrely,
