 Kuala Lumpur. 



Dear SiR,"We very much regret having omitted to write exactly 

 wliat we had done, as to exhibits on account of the Malay Planters' 

 Association in the Brussels Exhibition. On the 1st April we inform- 

 ed you that the quantity you named was far too much ; we had been 

 in communication with the man who had charge of the rubber section 

 at the Exhibition, and learnt from him that this was to be shown in a 

 somewhat small pavilion, about 7 miles from the main Exhibition, 

 which would be entirely devoted to rubber. The writer was on the 

 Committee for the Rubber Growers' Association of London, and dis- 

 cussed the matter with them before deciding the quantity to be sent; 

 he also got together their exhibit and he visited the exhibition himself 

 with otheu Members of the Association, and found that the samples 

 sent along were fully sulficient, and with the photographs supplied and 

 the big name board of the Malay Planters' Association made an ex- 

 cellent exhibit. We enclose the invoice now, leaving out a small item 

 of insurance, for which we have been waiting for some time. 



The section, being so far away from the main exhibition, is only 

 being visited by comparatively few of the general public, but by a 

 great many people actually interested in the article. 



When the Exhibition closes, we hope to be able to get a fair price 

 for the samples from buyers in Brussels. 



We are, dear sirs, 



Yours faithfully, 



(Sgd.) Lewis 8: Peat. 



p, S.—Wc hope to send you a photograph of the exhibition next 

 mail.
