sA regards finance, the F.M.S. have so far contributed $4,Q00 r 
the S.S. $2,000 and I am now trying to to collect the balance of $10,000, 
that we think will be required. I enclose a few copies of a circular 
that I have issued in this connection, and to simplify collection, it 
has been decided to ask you kindly to accept any contributions that 
may be made at Home, whilst I will continue to receive all dollar 
payments. 
I cannot conclude this letter without expressing the pleasure 
felt by the Members of this Association both at the institution of 
this Malay States Government Agency, and at the fact of its manage- 
ment having been entrusted to our late Resident General, whose 
sterling if unobtrusive work for this country will ever be gratefully 
remembered by the members of this Association. 
I propose to send you in future two copies of all our Minutes 
and shall endeavour to make up a complete set for your file, and trust 
that this will prove acceptable to you. 
Believe me, Dear Sir, 
Yours faithfully, 
(Sgd.) H.C.E. Zacharias, 
Secretary.
