| Notes: | Opuscular source: Letter from Hulford to Kew Director August 1899. Dear Sir, Referring to our conversation concerning Demerara fibres, I now beg to send you a small sp of the fibre I obtained from the Moco Moco plant on the Demerara River, as promised. I, am sorry it has been so much delayed but illness has been the cause. Perhaps, at your leissure you will be good enough to let me know your opinion of it. If you should want any more I could send you some. I am not sure whether the gardens have a sp: i, f not perhaps the enclosed will answer the purpose after you have seen it. | ||||
