Malay term or phrase: "...saya merujuk perkara di atas dan surat pejabat ini bil. (62) dlm. xx/xx"
"...saya merujuk perkara di atas dan surat pejabat ini bil. (62) dlm. xx/xxxx/xx/x bertarikh... "

The xx's are a reference number of another letter being referenced. I am guessing that dlm. is an abbreviation of "dalam," however what is the meaning of "bil." ?

Explanation:
"bil" is short for "bilangan" in which case you can translate it as number or volume.
