14-th September, 
Dear Sir 
I hear that the Borneo Company Ltd*, in 
Singapore, have shipped to you this week a quantity 
of dried club-moss and also dried palm-leaves. 
Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity 
of inspecting the material just before it was packed, 
in order to see if it was thoroughly dry, but I 
trust the clute^moss will be satisfactory. 
As for the palm'leaves, these were dried 
without my instructions as to size, shape and manner 
of pressing and packing so I can give no guarantee 
for them. However, I have made enquiries in Johore 
and is a matter of a few months I could send you 
another quantity of leaves of the same size and 
flatness as in the original sample, if this shipment 
is unsatisfactory. 
I .am still searching for a suitable f laurel* 
leaf 
Yours faithfully
