 My Dear Friend 


 Yes I can tell you 
 all about Vegetable wax, [&c.?]
 I send you back your 
 drupes, and more with 
 them. Can give you 
 more if wanted. 


 It is an old story. 
 Vide Thunberg Fl. Jap. [Flora Japonica]
 p. 122, under
 Rhus succedaneum &
      "   Oleum huius seminum 
 contusorum et post coctionem 
 adhuc calentium prelo 
 submissorum expressum candelis 
 conficiendis inservit, et sebi 
 consistentiam acquirit"


 The wax forms a stratum
 next the putamen.
