Dear Burkill, , 4 . 
I am enclosing a mesnorandu^ by hunting on the 
nrooosed schema for a Federated Malay States and Straits 
Settlements Gardens Department. 
As I told Chipp I am quits in favour of the idsa> 
especially as it would enable a battar staff to be Kant up. 
only point that would need watching would oe the 
relations between your Horticulturists at work on introduc¬ 
tions, culture and improvement and my Botanists, but suitable 
arrangements for this ought not to be beyond us. 
I tMnk a Conference between the Conservator of 
* 
Forests, yourself and myself to put ur®a definite scheme 
r- - 
might be useful. 
* • 
I must say I 'think that your Head - quarters ou^ht to 
3 * 
be in Kuala Lumpur. It is irtdch more central and “ would be 
so much easier to keep in touch with one another's work if 
we are all in the same place. 
» / 
Best regards. 
t 
Yours sincerely, 
d> Th*a Director of Gardens, 
SINGAPORE.
