71* Colfcty 
Hill 
Dear Burk-4.11, 
Thank you for your letter of the 7th July, and 
for the kind congratulations of yourself and Mrs Burk^ill* 
I think I understand your position as outlined 
in your letter, and I can aaaure you that I am anything 
hut unsympathetic with your difficulties* But as far as 
I am aware there has been nothing in the way of a decision 
• ' 
to remove Botanical work to Kuala Lumpur, and the Committee 
will only report on the question of centralising the work 
generally. Whether the Committee will vote for Singapore 
or Kuala Lumpur, I am unable to say, and in any case it 
will only be a recommendation to Government, and not a 
decision by Government* So I don’t think you need have 
any hesitation in joining the Committee and setting 
out your views then, and I am sure that you will find 
both Cubitt and Haynes sympathetic. 
With kind regards to you and Mrs Burlu*ill form 
Lady Guillemard and myself, • 
Believe me. 
Yours sincerely*
