Dear Sir

In answer to your enquiries about Orchids I have today gathered seven kinds, all more or less comon, with the exception of No 6 grown high up a stony ridge. I think they are all Orchids, and by them you will see the locality of them. I daresay the flowers and seeds will be dried and crushed but I know of no better way of sending them.

Kindly acknowledge to oblige

Yours faithfully

Charles D. Barber
