To Mr Folthorp of Smith, Elder & Co.   6 June [1839]

Dear Sir

I have heard from the Treasury, & they will pay you the account as soon as you like1

Chas Darwin June 6th.

12 Upper Gower St.

There are annotations at the top of the letter probably made by Folthorp: No. 7– 57 . 16 . 11 8– 51 . 16 . 2 ———— 109 . 13 . 1 These refer to the accounts rendered by Smith, Elder & Co. for the two most recent numbers of Zoology; the expenses for No. 7 (Fossil Mammalia, No. 2) and for No. 8 (Fossil Mammalia, No. 3). See letter to A. Y. Spearman, 27 May 1839, n. 1. At the foot of the page, in the same hand: Qy Smiths No 5. 52 . 15 . This probably refers to a query about number 5 of Andrew Smith’s Illustrations of the zoology of South Africa, also published by Smith, Elder & Co. with a grant from the Treasury.
