Paid Thomas C. Thomas

Nov 28 1866

MS corrected from 5. 9. 6; however, the total has not been corrected to take account of this, and neither was it corrected in the summary of the expenditures M had incurred, that he eventually submitted (see M to the Royal Commissioners for the Intercolonial Exhibition, 1867 (in this edition as 67-00-00e)).

MS is annotated 'No 10' of 74 receipts covering materials supplied from the Botanic Garden for the Intercolonial Exhibition of Australasia, Melbourne, 1866-7, for which M was one of the Commissioners.
