Description

Anthoine sends thanks for the sample of Pourretia through Dr Rampon[?]. He will return it with the paste made from the raw fibre and different kinds of paper for the RBG Kew museum. He would like a copy of the written note upon Pourretia. He also asks for duplicates of certain lithographies. He asks if Hooker could add 'Empress of Russia' after Heliconia maria as it is named after her. He will have photographs of the plant very soon. He intends to obtain another kind of vegetable wool, after hearing of Hooker's interest in them. He can collect them on a large scale and will send Hooker a specimen of the plant, a tree. In a postscript he explains that he has taken the name of 'Gogorza', to which a title is attached, on behalf of his son. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
