Dear Symington, 
I have had a sample of the same gum 
sent for my opinion from the Government .malyst 
at Singapore. I do not think Henderson is right 
in thinking it to he a gum acacia. It contains 
a proportion of a gum of sorts, hut also other 
more inf 1 aim, able materials, also nitrogen ecus 
matter. 
I need not trouble you with chemical 
data hut it looks to me that it would he quite 
a big undertaking to produce a complete analysis 
without knowing the case history more accurately, 
Your 3 sincerely,
