Description

Returning from California, Sargent has received Prain's letter of 1 Apr regarding the set of Schneider's Chinese plants. Sargent would like the matter to be clearly understood between them. He has paid Schneider nearly $900: $500 to get him back from China and the balance to get his plants from 'Yunnanfu' [Kunming] to Boston. To repay Sargent, Schneider has turned over a sufficient number of sets of plants. One of these sets was the one Sargent proposed to RBG Kew. Schneider insists on using a label, of which Sargent encloses a copy [not attached], stating that his journey was undertaken for the Dendrological Society of Austria and Hungary. Schneider believes that, as long as he was sent out by this society, which paid his expenses there, he should use this form of label. Sargent does not believe this will be a problem for Prain, but thought he should make the matter clear. [See also letter at 203/189.] Page 1 of 1.
