ROYAL SOCIETY OF TROPICAL BOTANY
Kew, London · Est. 1853
Subject:Expedition to Acre Province, Republic of Brazil
Date:12th March, 1924
Two reports place a flowering plant four weeks upriver from Manaus. Those who drank it could answer one another at distance.
Retrieve a living specimen. Alive.
Prior expeditions did not return. Lose your supplies or your mind and you share their fate. Fail, and you don't exist.
— R. Hawthorne, Secretary
P.S. Be careful. Be quick. — R.H.
