Dear Charles: 
I have the Lepanthes article here on my desk but do not 
want to have it typed until I receive your description 
of Emary Moore’s new species. The addition of this new 
species naturally will mean an alteration in the key. 
If you could possibly send me the description in the 
early part of next week, I would be able to work on the 
key from your description and have the manuscript typed 
forthwith. I suggest that you use air mail because even 
that sometimes takes two days and ordinarily my mail may 
take as long as a week. 
When you send me the description, please also include the 
locality and collector data for the other Moore specimen 
which you are referring to Lepanthes avis. 
Cheerio, 
Richard Evans Schultes
