Reproduction of page ten of a handwritten letter on Cinchona, possibly described as one of the "Descriptions of plants collected during their expedition to Peru and Chile, 1777-1778, by J. Pavon and H. Ruiz. Facsimile of the descriptions of Cinchonas" in the exhibition catalogue. The facsimile was possibly reproduced as part of the exhibition <i>Malaria section of the international celebration and exhibition : three hundredth anniversary of the first recognized use of cinchona by Europeans, 1630-1930</i> hosted by the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum in 1930. The facsimile is possibly listed as exhibit no. 983 in the souvenir catalogue and lent by The British Museum (Natural History).
