'July, 1913. 
sir, 
, I enclose for your infonnation a circular 
describing the origin, organisation, and work of the 
International Association of Tropical Agriculture and 
Colonial Development. 
At the close of the international Congress of 
Tropical Agriculture held under the auspices of the 
Association at Brussels in May 1910, a meeting of the 
British Committee for that Congress was held, at which it 
was decided that the Committee should be retained as the 
nucleus of a permanent British Section of the International 
Association, and also to carry out the desire very 
generally expressed at the last General Assembly of the 
International Association, that the next International 
Congress of Tropical Agriculture and Colonial Development 
should if possible be held in London in 1914. , 
The Committee trust that you will*become a 
member of the British Section of the International 
Association (see circulars enclosed). 
# Members of the British Section will, ipso facto, 
be members of the International Association and will pay an 
annual subscription of £1. 
I also desire to ask whether you would be 
willing to serve on the Committee of the British Section, 
X.H* Burkill, Esq*, from 
Director of Gardens, 
Singapore.
