MS appears to be Barnard's notes for a letter to M.
Mueller—
I have the honor to inform you that it was decided at the last meeting of the Committee
of the above Club that you should be allowed two pages free of cost in each number
of the Naturalist
for the publication of your descriptions of new plants also one or two more as the
Editor can spare them any extra pages you may require which would make the journal
exceed the ordinary size / 12 pages / to be charged at 5/ per page — thus if the Editor
requires 9 pages you can have three free of cost, should you want seven you would
be charged for four

I may mention that it has almost been definitely decided to change our printers to
Massina and Co who print the Journal of Pharmacy which I think will give you much
better satisfaction. We also intend to enlarge to sixteen pages per month, the alterations
to commence with the November number
