| Notes: | Label source: Extract of letter from SE Union of Scientific Societies to Sir David Prain: I am enclosing with this some papers and specimens which were given to me some years ago, as to the use of part of the Indian Corn, which may be of interest histori, cally. I thought you might like to see it, but if not interesting or useful to you, please destroy. A Welsbach is mentioned in the letter, but who the letter came from and to whom it was sent, I do not know. It might have had some connection with the i, nvention of gas mantles. E A Martin | ||||
