Kuala Lumpur, 24th January 1924* 
Dear Burkill. 
I send you my 419/21 
2* {2}, (6)* and (7) were sent to the Under 
r'"'- 
Secretary, F.M.S, on 8th September, 1921, and on the same 
date a copy of {2} was sent to you, but you appear not to 
have received it. 
3* Your first objection I sriggest should be met 
by my pencil correction in line 6 of paragraph 3 of the 
draft report* I fancy something more than a subordinate 
will be wanted at Singapore, and I suggest "with a compe« 
tent European in charge of each, the officer at Penang 
being a subordinateIf however you think subordinates I 
are enough at both places I agree to your proposal. 
As regards the economic gardens I suggest an 
addition at the end of paragraph 3 of the draft report* 
5* With the addition of the words "quarters and 11 
in paragraph 3 of the draft report your remarks on 
"suitable accommodation* 1 are perhaps met* 
6* I have no objection to the Penang Garden being 
a botanic garden* I did not fully realise its importance. 
But will not Kuala Lumpur be able to grow v/hat you can’t 
grow in Singapore * 
7* I agree to the alteration in the last sentence 
m 
of the draft report*
