Sir

In reply to your letter No 52361 I have the honor of stating, that the sum of 15s/5d, the portion of the amount claimed by Messrs Anthony & Co2 under Judgement Certificate No 6563 as chargeable to this Department, is not for goods supplied but for a draw back of duties, to which they appear to be entitled. Vouchers for the above claim will be transmitted through the Departm. of Stores and Transport, where I learn that a correspondence (vide their letter T68/313 of 21/10/68) regarding this matter has taken place already.

I have the honor to be

Sir,

your obedient servant

Ferd. Mueller

E. S. Symonds Esq

Under Treasurer
