London
17. Feb. 1860
Dear Sir
Many thanks to you for the torch of "Rajah Dammar" which Mr. Stevens handed me yesterday. I have made a little slit in the palm-leaf in order to see the Dammar within and ascertain if it resembled any of that found in the London market. However the resin was too much broken to afford much information.
We much require information on Dammar2, or rather as to what trees afford the particular sorts found in commerce[.] What for instance, yields Dammar batu or Dammar puti and what Dammar Selan? The latter is largely imported here.
I remain &c. | DH.3 [signature]
Mr. A. R. Wallace, care of Mr S. Stevens
