committee to hold a preliminary exhibition next September, and 
Colonel 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, 
Colonel.
