Referring to the Agricultural Bulletin Prospectus, 
forwarded under cover of your letter Gardens 5067 of I4th: 
June current* I shall he obliged if you will he so good as 
to inform me whether the Prospectus ,as it stands has been 
finally approved by the Colonial Government, because if it~ 
has been finally approved, I will cause it to be Gazetted 
in the F# M# S. Gazettes and copies distributed . If it has 
not been finally approved, I would beg to be allowed to 
offer some suggestions after consulting one or two of the 
Planters here who would take it as a compliment and be en¬ 
couraged to contribute to and support the publication# I 
venture to think also that it would be diplomatic to ask, in 
the prospectus, for the assistance, in respect of contribution 
of Mr:I. Wray, the Curator, Perak, of Mr: Perry the suptd: 
of Govt: Gardens Perak, of Mr*: Arden, the Federal suptd: of 
Experimental Plantations selangore and of Mr: Curtis of 
Penang# 
2# It would moreover help to expedite matters and 
, '* ’ • | 
put them on a sound basis if Mr: Fox, to whom we in the 
states are much indebted, could fix the rate of subscription# 
I suggest $6 a year and the date from which subs- 
V - i^ 
criptions should commence# 
I have the honour to be 
Sir 
Your most obedient servant
