the children proved welcome and that you were able to 
secure it. 
To-morrow I will go to the bank and arrange for another 
4 ; 
draft to be sent to you. It would be a shame to put an 
end to the drawings* Please keep up this good work for 
me and send anything of your Central American species 
that is critical or new. You may rest assured that the 
funds to re-imburse you will be forthcoming. 
i ,., 
Have I all of your recent papers? I am $ust as 
anxious to receive them as ever I was and I hope you 
will not omit sending them because of pressure of other 
work. 
Some good collections are coming in now and I 
will not forget you. As a beginning I intend to send 
to you next week a set of Philippine orchids that has 
been ready for some time. This set contains some types 
and one of the best sets of the Mountain Province Col¬ 
lection. 
Please reraemoer mfc to Mrs, Schlechter. Mrs. Ames 
joins in all good wishes to you both -for the Christmas 
s 
Yours very sincerely. 
Season.
