From Marcus Clarke to Ferdinand von Mueller   5 Dec 1870

5th December [1870]1

Sir

I have the honor by direction of the above Committee to call your attention to my letter of the 17th November last No 76 I.T.M2 in which I informed you that the Committee had decided to engage Mr Hoffmann as Phytological Chemist under your direction, such engagement to date from the 7th of November and notified to you that the Committee definitely declined to pay Mr Hoffmanns salary for the months of September and October as they considered that his duties during those months were departmental

If Mr Hoffmann will forward a voucher for the month of November less six days, his claim will be settled without delay

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your obedient Servant

Marcus Clarke

To Dr Von Mueller
