8. However this may be I venture to hope that the Governments 
of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States will get 
together a large and representative collection of Rubber of the various 
descriptions and qualities put on the market and have it sent here in 
o-ood time for the opening of the Exhibition. At the Exhibition of 
1908 the display of Malay grown rubber would have been even more 
indifferent than was the case but for the fact of samples of Rubber 
having been obtained from representatives in London of Rubber 
Companies connected with the Malay Peninsula. 
9. It would add to the interest of the Malay Section if some of 
the firms who manufacture machinery for the treatment of rubber, 
such firms as the Federated Engineering Company, Riley Hargreaves 
and Co., and others known to you would send over samples of the 
Machinery and appliances made by them. 
I am, Dear Sir, 
Your obedient servant,

DEAR SIR, — At a Meeting of the Agency Board held to-day 
was decided to address the Committee of your Association on the sub- 
ject of the representation of the Federated Malay States at the Rub- 
ber Exhibition to be held in the Agricultural Hall in June 1911, and 
to invite through them the cordial co-operation and assistance of the 
F. M. S. Rubber Estates with a view to rendering the Government 
Exhibit worthy of the occasion and of the F. M. S. 
It is desired to have exhibits of all classes of Rubber, and Rub- 
ber stumps showing the methods of tapping in vogue, also rubber 
seeds, fresh if possible.
