committee to hold a preliminary exhibition next September, and 

 Coionel Bosworth, the chairman, has addressed us the following letter 

 on the subject : — 



Dear Sir, — At a special meeting held recently it was decided to 

 hold a Rubber Exhibition for one week in September, 1908, and a 

 building in London has been secured for the purpose. Several in- 

 fluential friends interested in rubber in Brazil have promised their 

 united support, and knowing you are greatly interested in the develop- 

 ment of trade in this country generally, and in London in particular, 

 with the rubber producing centres, I shall be glad if, whilst in no wise 

 relaxing your efforts in connection with arranging an International 

 India-rubber Exhibition in 1909 or 1910, you could kindly co-operate 

 with us in the above undertaking, and induce your friends to take 

 part in our exhibition. I believe that it would be greatly to your 

 interest to do so, as it will help to attract attention to the importance 

 of London as a rubber centre, and will undoubtedly assist the larger 

 exhibition which it is proposed should be held later. The Exhibition 

 offices are at 75 Chancery Lane, London, W.C. 



I am, 



Faithfully yours, 



W. J. BOSWORTH, 



CoUnel.
