Dear Sir

At the same time, the Chancellor desires me to convey to you the thanks of the Senate for your past services in that capacity.

M is not mentioned as an Examiner in earlier letters or the preceding minutes of the Professorial Board. Nor is he listed as an Examiner in the University's Calendar of 1887, so it is not clear whether he undertook the duties referred to in this letter.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient servant
H E Barff
Registrar
Baron von Mueller K.C.M.G.
