| Notes: | Opuscular source: Letter 718, 1911 Book vii p 84. We beg to express our best thanks for your note of yesterday and extract from Mr Dodges catalogue of fibre plants. We find this fibre from the commercial point of view, somewhat variable in strengh prob, ably the result of over treatment in preparation. There is no doubt that there is a future for it and we are suggesting to our Natal correspondent to send over a few tons for actual use by the spinners. From sp in Herb Kew 25.v.14.
