My dear Dr. Schleohter: In my last letter I referred to 
the fact that I had temporarily misplaced the manuscript of 
Grobya. Day before yesterday I went to my country home in 
north Saston and found the manuscript♦ I intend to take it 
to some printer or publisher to ascertain what it will cost 
to produce the Folia . -Just as soon as I obtain satisfactory 
figures I will submit them to you and wo can begin to get out 
the work. It would be well, I think, to have several genera 
ready before we start publication. Do you net think so? It 
will also be necessary to have in hand at the start a keyed 
synopsis of the genus groups. Will you please attend tc this 
at once and send me your version as soon as possible. I would 
suggest that we publish the synopsis as a temporary or rather 
tentative introductory chapter, this t ■> be so produced that 
subscribers or purchasers of the Folia can make such additions 
or corrections as become necessary during the production of 
the work. Later, or at the hoped for conclusion of our task 
we can prepare a final synopsis. 
My Glass work for the University is beginning to ease 
up now, and I intend to take 
contribution to the Folia. I 
up some small group as my first 
_ have in mini. Isotria as a begin¬ 
ning because I did good work on trie species this summer and as 
I have good drawings ready and very good notes made in the 
field. Just as soon as I settle down to my task I will send 
you. a list of the genes® that I have In hand. 
In your orchids of Ecuador published in Fe&de XII {1915} 
you describe ?lourothallIs Millol , and then again in vol. 
1917} 435 you publish another species of Pleurothallis 
under the same name. If you have not already noticed this you 
will wish to correct the duplication in a forthcoming publiv 
cation. 
If you have duplicates of tropical American friphoras I 
would like very much to have them as I want to ta v >-> «« +•

_ also like to have any other dup¬ 
licate s that you have ready for mo, I am taking the liberty 
of sending to you a draft Cor a small sum of money that ;ill 
reimburse you for postage. This will go under separate cover. 
As I am going to have more material for the Berlin Museum I 
hope you will help me to exchanges that will strngthen jay herb¬ 
arium In special groups. 
When you have the opportunity I wish you would give me 
a detailed statement of your views as to the financing of the 
Folia . 
Have you a list of the Lehmann numbers of Pleurothallis? 
I find that I have a largo number of unidentified species and 
if you have worked up this Lehmann material I '"cold ’••'elcome 
the saving of time to me that a list of your identifications 
would make possible. 
I have boon working recently on some British Guiana orchids 
for the Gray Herbarium. Among o£her interesting things I have 
what seems to be a new genus. I will send you some sketches and 
a flower so that you can have a record for your herbarium. When
