Gamble is now able to send Prain the second lot of Malay Lauraceae for the [KEW] BULLETIN and hopes he may see the proofs as with the first lot. Gamble regrets to see the abolition of the Penang Gardens announced in the [KEW] BULLETIN, he hopes the herbarium is to go to RBG Kew. Gamble has found a few more odd parts of the 'Materials' and will send them today to be added to what Prain keeps for him. Gamble has supplied Sprague as far as he can. He shall push on with the third lot of Latin descriptions, and as soon as he can complete his manuscript with Lindera, Prain will see him return to finish off the family. Gamble might send a few small families for a first part of volume five and asks Prain for the Polygonaceae to put with what he has there. He hopes Prain enjoyed himself in Rome and Brussels.
