Sir
I have the honor to solicit that you will be pleased to place at my disposal the remainder of the wages left available from the vote for 1862, being the sum of one thousand pounds Sterling,1 and that you will be pleased to sanction that it may be expended in ordinary wages and remuneration for occasional joblabor and that also any wages due for the third quarter of the year may be liquidated out of the above sum.
I beg further to solicit, that of the vote for publishing works on Australian plants transfer transfer to the amount of fifteen (£15.- .-) pounds Sterling may be made to the store vote.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your most obedient and humble servant
Ferd. Mueller.
The honorable the Chief Secretary

Moore, minuted: 'This transfer was submitted to the Governor in Council yesterday and the authority will be issued so soon as the Order in Council is returned to the Chief Secretary'. M was informed on the same day and he immediately returned the file with a note: 'Thankfully returned'.
