 23th November, 1910. 



Dear Slr. 



As you are no doubt aware, an International Exhibition of Rub- 

 ber and Allied Trades will be held next year in London. 



It goes without saying that it is essential for the Rubber Industry 

 of the Malay Peninsula to make an imposing show on this occasion ; 

 in fact all preparations foi doing so have already been actively taker 

 in hand by this Association in conjunction with the Governments of 

 the Federated Malay States and Straits Settlements. 



The expense entailed has been estimated at $15,000, out of which 

 sum $10,000 remain to be raised by the parties most concerned, viz., 

 the proprietors of the rubber estates in this Peninsula. It is now 

 proposed to create a special fund for this purpose, and to ask each 

 estate to contribute towards it a sum not exceeding $200 ; the surplus, 

 if any, to be refunded pro rata, when the accounts are closed. 



I enclose a dupUcate of this letter, in case you wish to refer this 

 question to your principals, and trusting to be favoured by you with 

 the substantial support that this matter so amplv deserves. 



Believe me, Dear Sir, 



Yours faiihfullv. 



H. C. E. ZACHARIAS.
