Morris informs Thiselton-Dyer of his intention to send a small specimen of a native tree crafted out of wax by Hart. He hopes it may be of interest to the Museum [at RBG Kew]. He has been busy preparing the exhibits for Amsterdam and is struggling with the 'feeling of laissez faire' affecting the public since the recent political events. He explains that the collections, which were despatched on 11 [Mar 1883] were small, but he believes them representative of the local industries [in Jamaica]. In a few months, he intends to visit the Department of Agriculture at the Smithsonian Institute in the [United] States. A note added by Morris on page two, states that the specimen of wax sent was prepared from the seeds of Myrica microcarpa, ' an amentaceous plant, growing abundantly on the hills of Jamaica'. The method of preparing the wax is also described. Annotated. Page 1 of 2.
