Dear Corner, 
I think it will suit everybody if Mohd. Nur and 
Ngadinan come up on 30th March. My man will join them at K. Lumpur 
and they can go straight up to Tap ah Koad by the day mail. I 
shall arrange for a car to meet the train there. 
I think we might say they will conduct operations 
for a month and then we* 11 see how things are going. I’ll supervise 
the trip through Fairley and I f ll try to get up at least one© to 
see how things are going. 
I think the simplest arrangement will be to use 
your field numbers for all specimens. Will you do the sorting, when the 
sports are brought back and let us have, whatever possible, at least 
enough to mount one sheet and preserve a duplicate? This will involve 
coliecting pretty ample material. 
I am particularly anxious to get wood samples and 
am instructing my lad to collect any sizeable tree whether sterile 
or otherwise. When timber specimens are collected I want the breast- 
height diameter or girth and the height to first branch recorded. 
Yes I think the camp lamps will be useful. My man 
will bring an axe for the timber specimens. I take it you are providing 
the presses, collecting paper, etc.. 
X don't think we have much in the rotan line to show 
Furtado but if he would like to visit Kepong I shall be very glad to 
see him and show him what's doing. 
Many thanks for arranging about the Cannas which 
arrived safely. 
Hope you $ha*e a good trip to K. Bharu and Trengganu*
