Dear Sir, 
Last $ear you kindly arranged for The Borneo Company Limited to send 
us some dried club moss (LYCOPODIDM CEKtnJUM) and p%a leaves (PTYCHORHA.PKIS ) f 
- and we should be glad if you could arrange to send us, at your earliest 
convenience, another two cwts of each# Regarding the palm leaves, we should 
be glad if only undamaged leaves are sent *■ of course they should be dried 
and packed flat* We could use palm leaves of anything between four and thirty 
inches in length but the most suitable sizes -would be between twelve and 
twenty inches* 
Regarding your letter of 21st December, 1934, for which we thank you, 
we are now in a position to report on the Bakau (RHIZOFHORA) and Agrostistachys 
leaves* 7fe enclose a sample of the former after it has been preserved, and 
this sample represents the size that would be most useful to us* We would 
prefer not to have them smaller bub we would not mind having them slightly 
larger* Wo shall be glad if you will send to us two cwts of Bakau and one 
cwt of Agrostistachys* 
Several copies of Certificates of Origin are being sent by ordinary 
mail, and we shall be glad if care is taken when filling in these forms as 
the Customs at this end are very particular* On 29th January we wrote to 
The British Borneo Company and sent a copy of a letter received from our 
agents here, of which the following is an extract - 
"The form you seat us stated 1 British Malayan 1 origin. Tidiereas 
.the Customs require one showing the goods as being the products 
of the Straits Settlements, Federated Malay States, the Dhfederated 
Malay States, or Johore, etc” 
Since then we have received fresh certificates from the Borneo Company and 
these have been duly lodged with the Customs authorities here but they refuse
