Dear Sir —I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter regard- 
ing monthly returns of sick coolies. 
At a meeting of this Association, held last Sunday, the feeling 
was that a lot of unnecessary trouble will be given to estate Managers, 
and, obviously, as far as epidemics are concerned the returns will not 
serve the purpose for which the returns are said to be intended. 
This Association desires to have all estates visited by a British 
Medical Officer, and I have written, as directed to the Secretary to 
Resident to ask his approval of an arrangement to be made with our 
District Medical Officer to undertake these duties. 
I am, 
Yours faithfully, 
(Sgd.) A. J. Boase, 
Secretary to Batang Padang,

Planters’ Association of Malaya, 
Kuala Lumpur. 2 &h May, 1910. 
Dear Sir, — I n reply to your letter of 7th May, 1910, re-monthty 
return of sickness, it appears to my Committee that, as most of the 
Estates belong to some Association or other, and that as most of 
these Associations employ a Doctor, it is giving unnecessary trouble 
to the Planters to fill in such returns and all that is needed is that the 
Government shall instruct each Association that their Doctor must 
report all cases which might lead to an epidemic to the nearest 
Government Surgeon. 
Yours faithfully, 
(Sgd.) W. H. Tate, 
Hon. Secretary, 
to Taiping Planters’ Association.
