Sir, 
With reference to pcour correspondence Ho. 1044/21 
I have the honour to enclose a draft from the Director of 
Botanic Gardens, Singapore, in reply to Colonial Secretary^ 
letter No, 9036/21 of 14th March, 1924, 
2, I am inclined to think we should give some reason for 
the proposed sharing of Expenditure .item A, and that we should 
also state definitely, giving reasons, that all buildings in 
Kuala Lumpur are to be built by and at the expense of the 
it 
Federated Malay States Government, 
3, Mr, Burkill tells me that he has said nothing about 
the immediate employment of Mr, Henderson because he thinks 
that matter is on the way to settlement between the Colonial 
and Chief Secretaries., but I think some reference to the 
point is needed in order to make Item A clear, and in reply 
to the last sentence of the Colonial Secretary’s letter, 
I have the honour to be. 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant. 
Conservator of Forests,
