Dear Corner, 
I have been away at Lumut and am a bit behind 
with my correspondence, I have two notes from you, one dated 
* 
5,4.37 and the other undated, 
Mohd. Hur and Co. are presumably going strong at 
Cameron’s. I met them at the train on their way through 
Kuala Lumpur. I had hoped to be able to visit them this 
month but I do not think it can be done. However Thomas, 
our Timber Engineer is going there and may look them up for me, 
S. Many thanks for enquiring re my Jour#, gtr. Br, 
H. A3. Soc. My copy and the reprints have now arrived but 
T have received no covering letter, bill, or anything like that. 
3. Re v. Steenis’ visit next year - I should very 
much like to accompany him and I third: I could get permission 
to do so but it is unlikely that I’ll be allowed much money 
for the trip. You see the big noises of the Forest Department 
visited Korbu in 1933 and Tahan last year and it is doubtful 
whether anyone will agree to more expenditure on the same trips 
even though this trip will have a definite scientific object. 
If you could pay t expenses all would be well I expect. However 
we can go into that when the question becomes more pressing. 
4 * glad to have your notes on the chempedak and 
Jack - fruit. I hope you will get your researches published 
soon to make botanists realise the pressing necessity for fun¬ 
damental taxonomic research in our region and to discourage 
people like Merrill who may be excellent in some directions but 
are a public menace when playing about with plant names.
