Description
Rogers is grateful to Hill for the book he sent called FROM RUWENZORI TO THE CONGO, as he has wanted to acquire a copy for some time. He has just returned from Morne L'Enfer, and has returned with a large bundle of orchids collected by Collignon, which he plans to hand over to Freeman. He comments that the 'jiggers' were bad there, noting that they are common on sandy soils. He concludes by passing on Collignon's greetings, and by noting that he is watching his seed bearing trees as it is an exceptionally good seed year. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
