^rd March, 
Your letter No.llJ: 4 .^*^7 
Bear Professor Lam, 
It seems that the covering letter to the 
10 specimens of Macaranga has gone astray. I 
am therefore sending you a copy of the original 
letter, which was sent on 20th December 19 ^ 6 * 
Unfortunately there was a delay in the sending 
of the specimens until three weeks later, 
I think my intention was that all 10 specimens 
should be returned. If you will kindly do this 
I will send you duplicates of recent and better 
collections that I have been making of the two 
species, 
I shall be most grateful if you will enquire 
into this point of systemsty. 
Yours sincerely. 
Assistant Director of Gardens, S.S. 
Professor H.J.Lam
