Dear Bill,

First of all I thank you once more for all I have received from you but independently of information the best I have received is a sincere FRIENDSHIP, in capital letters. This fact is a treasure which enriches my life.

I am working directly at the computer with the corrections made in Australia. I sent the article translated together (enclosed) to Mr Bartlett. I hope that the characters of the Speciation are sufficient for your eyes: they are 13 points high. If not sufficient, you tell me for reprint and for the future. We are preparing the other article for Bartlett.

I have made your catalogue, sent also in Germany, and when you need update it, tell me. In one moment is done.

The tree which gave the name to the Brazil is Caesalpinia echinata, called by the Portugueses pau brasil (post red like embers, and embers in Portuguese is brasa ). The red colour is only inside of the tree.

I don't assign the letter because the envelope is for a printed matter. My greetings to all disable people, David, Vivian and Bob.

I embrace you. I write soon.
