Dear Sirs, 
With reference to your favour of the 18th instant, we have much 
pleasure in informing you herewith, that the Netherland Indian 
Government has decided to consider again all applications for recruit- 
ing Javanese labour for Estates in the Federated Malay States, 
It will certainly be some time, before the applications are worked 
off as the number of recruiting licenses is limited to 2000 coolies (in 
all) per month. 
I will therefore be advisable to send applications in as soon as 
possible and we should feel very much obliged if you would kindly 
mention our name to the members of the Association in this respect. 
We enclose a specification of particulars required and we shall 
be pleased to draw up the necessary official (stamped) letters of 
applications to the Netherland Indian Government. 
I have, &c„ 
Per Pro. HOOGLANDT & Co.,
