It was revealed upon examination of the envelope:
A trace of the substance was not complely preserved on the envelope and the possibility of conducting a thorough chemical analysis is excluded.
The envelope emits a weak smell that is a distant resemblance to excrement or a meat product (intestines used in the production of sausage or similar).
It can be assumed that the specimen that is contained in the envelope (in certainly possible it was wrapped in still another paper) is of animal origin, however to what degree cannot be considered proven.

Hmm, the clove smell is intriguing. Could the “excrement” type substance be of non-human origin. Afterall, what person their right mind would eat anything that has cloves in it.
Forget the cloves. The inability for them to tell whether it was shit or sausage is a testament to meat products in the 1930s.
