Notes: Label source: Dear Sir, We have received from Messrs JC & J Field of Lambeth a sample of ?? which is produced in quantity in a process of their manufacture in pharmacy and for toilet purposes are offering it at the ? at prices very much ? then we ever p, ay for vaseline as it appears to be new to the pharmacy. I thought you would like to place it on the table this evening. Also a sample of gum just arrived from the Brazils - it is described as gum angica. It is thought much of in South America and is sent, over as a valuable edition to our drugs. It looks very much like Australian Gum. Remain yours very truely Yours Francis.
