do not know as I write these words, but it will surely please you, 
I am sending to you under another covsr a oouple or reprints 
and a copy of the Journ. Straits Branch that contains ray biblio¬ 
graphical list of Bornean orchids. I believe there was a aery 
limited supply of this, just enough for the members of the Society, 
so this copy I am sending to you may be a welcome thing. Faso. VII 
of Orchidacaae should be ready for you by the end of January. 
Why has only one copy of "Peru" been sent to me. I understood 
that I was to be given extra copies in view of the fact that I help¬ 
ed out with the printing costs. 
In one of my letters I referred to a bonus on account of the 
Vienna trip. Why not six thousand marks? Take this amount from the 
draft^recently forwarded and acknowledged. This seems little enough. 
How about the list of Lehmann numbers with determinations? 
Such a list would be very welcome just now as I am looking forward 
to a large collection from northern South America being made for 
me by the Mulford Biologioal Exploration of the Amazon Basin. You 
will remember that I have ann efficient collector on this expedit¬ 
ion and that you are to share in the duplicates that are obtained. 
The last reports from the expeditionowcB® encouraging, although 
turbulent streams upset some of the specimens and supplies including 
much needed amunition. 
Sketches of the Beichenbaehian material will bo preferable to 
photographs, although it might oe well when you think wise to try 
a few photographs of very critical things that would be interesting 
in a photographic record. Use your own judgement in every case. I 
am ready to rely on your decisions. 
The copies of Orchis have arrived in good condition. I hope 
you will complete my files 8»2 jIG 8SXIci HI6 & bill X0X s Sllb&CX'Xp^XOH
