Botanical Museum 
December £0, 1941 
took a plane to Florida. Did not even come into the museum, as 
far as I know. Everyone around the museum seems to be getting along 
well. Ted Hill is busy being Air Raid Warden and getting things 
organized in our part of the museum. 
Saw your mother yesterday and &he seems fine. Looks as chipper as 
ever. 
I don’t know whether the Rivester Colombians de Ciencias Exactas 
etc. has come in upstairs or not. I thing we had a copy of it about 
a year ago that someone sent us for the orchide t&e# were in it, 
I appreciate Dr. LLeras’ invitation to write articles for him. Some 
people seem to have difficulty in finding places to publish articles 
but my main difficulty seems to be at finding time to write invitation 
papers. 
Your mother said the Ecuadorian dolls, which you sent your sister, had 
arrived safely. 
That is all that I can think of at this tire. If you want to know 
anything, ask rae in your next letter. 
Merry Christmas and etc.
