Notes: Label source: In parchment. Prepared at the Bot Station Entry book No 56.1896 (this has been crossed out on jar label) Note, 5 Mincing Lane EC 4.5.1896 - The parchment is good clean & bright. It has been well prepared and well cured and very hard dried., The coffee came out rather brownish and gooey coated and is small in size for Liberian - possibly the drought has affected the coffee to a great extent, as you suggest. Todays value is about 78/- to 80/- per cwt if husked and sized here (Sd.) Lewis & Peat, . It is a very fair sample on the whole.
