January $z, igsi.> 
My dear Dr. Schiechter; 
I find' that we* do not have* here* 
volume* XXX of the publication in which Karerzlln pub- 
the* Philippine orchids of which you sent me- a list eptce* 
time; ago. Our -files stop with the year 1010 and have' not; 
been completed since the: war. Do you suppose you could 
obtain the Kraenzl fn paper for ms‘. He has not sent me* 
any of hi*b reprints lately and 1 am at a loss for the* 
descriptions of his nets species. 
Your letter of January $et arrived 
last nir'ht. I have* no report to make on the- Grbya article'. 
I had to have 5 it transcribed. Tt is now in the hands of 
a publisher for an estimate of costs. T have' taken a few 
liberties with the* manuscript. Hit these will not dis¬ 
turb you. For ev-smplo, in abbreviations of authorities I 
like* to have the vowels used where* possible-. T.Jndl. lot 
Medley rather than Ldl. Red ebb. instead of Hchb. 1 am also 
establishing a uniform system for the citation of bocks. 
If you continues to send your manuscript in your own hand 
writing I wish you would be very clear as my stenographer 
finds the* transcription difficult although he knows his 
German and Latin wel eutffi fc,tlon regard! nf the* copying; 
of your analytical drawing wtn 
I .HI be, pleased to defray expense® of tavinS phot F- ^
