Melbourne,
1 Dec. 1884.
T. R. Wilson Esqr
Undersecretary.
Sir.
In connection with the monthly memorandum, which I have the honor herewith to forward,1 I beg to mention, that it may yet be necessary perhaps, to inform the Civil Service Commissioners, that Mr. Léon Henry resigned his position as junior assistant on the 19 Aug. 1884, and that the hon. the Chief Secretary appointed Mr. G. Renner to fill the vacancy; the payment for this junior officer is rendered out of the Contingencies Vote, at the rate of seven shillings and six pence each working day, i.e. six days a week.2
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
