Sir

I have the honor to solicit that you will be pleased to sanction the transfer of the sum of Forty pounds (£40.) from the vote for "Paper for Lithograms" to the vote for "Museum Material Stationery and Plants", to enable me to meet the necessary expenditure under this head for the current financial year.

On 22 June, H. Moore, acting for the Under Secretary, sent the file to M, noting 'that the transfer within applied for has been authorised by the Governor in Council'. M returned the file the next day 'with best thanks'.

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your most obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller,

The Honorable
