Notes: Opuscular source: My Dear Sir I am favoured with your letter of the 3rd instant and rejoice to hear the deodar section has safely reached you and proved interesting. I have the pleasure of sending you a drawing of the 'Niorkla' a specimen of which I forw, arded a few days ago. I am sorry to try if I can make paper of its bark if I ...?... you ..?.. have the results of the experiment. I enclose a very rough attempt at paper from the bark of the willow, the dark colour is a consequence of the bark having bee, n boiled with ashes from the cheer fire as a substiture for the blast. 19 Jun/5 July 1820
