| Notes: | Label source: From a tree 15 years old Opuscular source: Letter from Hecht, Levis and Kahn, 7.2.1893, 21, Mincing Lane, London. We have received your yesterday's letter and also the sample of Ceylon rubber which you have sent to us. The quality of thi, s rubber is very good indeed, and the curing of the same seems to have been effected in the proper manner. This quality would be easily saleable and we estimate its value today as being about 2/3 to 2/6 per lb. according to whether the rubber would be dr, y or damp. Easily saleable in large quantities. | ||||
