6/12/66.

Dear Sir

Let me trust that you will kindly provide the fourty pounds on the supplementary estimates for incidental expenses. The transit engagements of the Department have become so extensive, that I am utterly unable to bring these together with the constant current expenses for small repairs within the existing vote, and it would fall rather hard on me was I beside so many other monetary sacrifices I have to make for the dignity of my position also to loose this sum again or abandon a portion of my engagements for interchanges.

Your regardful & obedient

Ferd. Mueller
