Dear Sir:- 
I am very much gratified to learn from your 
letter of February eighth that you will eventually be 
in a position to continue the botanical exchangee be¬ 
tween your institution and the Bureau of Science. I 
will raaice my plans accordingly, and from time to time 
as duplicates are arranged for distribution, will lay 
aside a set of specimens for you. 
I understand thoroughly that it may be some 
time before you will be in a position to send out much 
material from Singapore. rVhen you are in a position 
to supply material in exchange, I hope that you will 
iteep the Bureau of Science in mind and we shall be 
very glad indeed to receive any specimens either named 
or unnamed from any part of the Malay region. 
Very truly yours
