Dear Sir; 
I am in safe receipt of your letter 30o/29 under date of the 
24th of September and beg to reply as follows. 
I certainly am obliged to you for the gift of eight hand timber 
specimens with authenticating herbarium material. These will become a part 
of our permanent collections here. If you are at all interested,possibly 
later I could arrange to send you photomicrographs of these woods. Meanwhile 
if I can be of service to you professionally in supplying information or 
materials from this part of the world do not hesitate to call upon me. You 
may be interested to learn that I am still cooperating with the Government 
of India in the preparation of ”A Manual of Indian Timbers’ 5 as joint author 
with Mr. B.S.Pearson, formerly forest Economist at Dehra Dun, India. The first 
volume of this work is now in press and I hope to complete my portion of it 
before the end of the current year. 
Again thanking you for your interest in our behalf, I remain 
Very truly yours. 
Professor of Wood Technology.
