Dear Sir:- 
We have recently received a letter from Messrs. Kelly & 
Walsh, Limited, of Singapore enclosing a letter from you concerning 
an exchange of publications* 
We have recently completed our set of The Journal of the 
Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, which is very much ap¬ 
preciated, indeed, but of the Agricultural Bulletin of the Straits 
and Federated. Malay Statds,concerning which we wrote Messrs* Kelly 
and Walsh, we have no number later than that for August, 1904, and 
this we did not receive direct but through the Bureau of Agricul¬ 
ture, Manila* In your letter you say that you receive all our pub¬ 
lications and sand us yours regularly, so I write for Information. 
Is it possible that the Agricultural Bulletin is no longer pub- 
lished, or that there is a mistake in some way about the mailing 
list? 
I am sorry to trouble you about this, but it seems impos¬ 
sible to unravel the mystery from here* 
Thanking you in advance for any light you may be able to 
throw upon the matter, I am, 
Very respectfully yours, 
Librarian, Bureau of Science*
