This day, dear Mr Fraser, I received a letter from the distinguished promotor of industrial
exhibitions, Mr P. L. Simmonds, whom you probably met in London.
In this letter, which is only one of many I received from him during many years,
he say
: "Efforts are being made here, to form a Company, to work more extensively the forests
of
in W.A, which — I think — I shall join". It occurs to me, that he may not have a
copy of your extensive report, issued (with what I wrote) last year.
As he is one of the leading Gentlemen for practical work in England connected with
all international exhibitions since the first was brought about by the Prince Consort,
perhaps you will send him a copy of your Report, should you not already be in communication
with him.

On 25 July 1884 Fraser instructed that a copy of the report be sent, and on the following
day M was informed that this had been done; see M. Fraser to M, 26 July 1884 (in this
edition as 84-07-26a). The file also contains offprints of two of M's papers, B84.02.02 and B84.04.01.
Regardfully your
