Dear Baron.

I herewith enclose a few specimens of an orchid I found growing on the marshy flats and low banks near the Crookwell River about 30 miles from Goulburn N.S.W. I would be pleased to have the exact name if not asking too great a favor as I know your time is so fully occupied. Thanking you in advance

I remain Dear Baron

Yours Respectfully
