Letter to Western Australian Museum from Oswald Sargent.Sargent has moved from York to Perth to work on the Handbook of WA Flora.Is concerned about safety of his collection which contains the types and cotypes of several recently described specimens,
a fairly complete set of WA and SA orchids and the specimens illustrative of all his published papers, about 4000 specimens.Would like the Museum to house the collection but needs to retain full authority.Would consider the collection on loan to the Museum.
