My dear Dr. Sohleohter: 
Your letter of November £5th, is the last one 
from you that I have received. I am looking for news from you every 
day. 
By this time you must have in hand my letters 
30 th, 
dated December/and December 31st. 
On Wednesday of next week Mrs. Ames and I 
leave here for Yucatan, Colon, Port Limon and Tela. At Tela w© expect 
to begin our collections of Honduran orohids. Then w© may go into 
Guatemala for a short tr&p. I am not sure as to the date of our re¬ 
turn. That will depend somewhat on the success that attends our efforts 
in Honduras. 
I have a new paper coming out which will be 
of interest to you. I will send a oopy when my supply comes in. 
Pleas® send me tracings of your new Costa Rie- 
an genera. Anything you have ready will be most acceptable for exam¬ 
ination on my return home in the spring. 
We are wondering how the extraordinary condit¬ 
ions now prevalent in Burope are effecting your outlook and your work. 
It must be very trying for you both to have the political horizon 
constantly clouded. We get very unsatisfactory news through the papers 
and find our thoughts in a turmoil. 
Give my kind regards to Its. Sohleohter. 
My wife Joins me in sending to you both and to the children our best 
wishes. 
Yours sincerely.
