17th Jan: [188]81
Dear Baron Mueller,
In reply to your letter of the 13th January2 I have the following records in my books in regard to payments to Mr Bauerlen made by you through me: —
| P.O. O. despatched Bauerlen | Receipt arrived |
| Sept: 8 | Oct: 5 |
| " 28 | " 19 |
| Nov: 8 | Dec: 3 |
The last receipt cannot at present be traced, as Mr Bauerlen generally wrote "I have sent a receipt to the Baron direct." It is therefore quite possible I have mislaid or destroyed the informal acknowledgement[s] to me, but I posess all his letters in which he says he is enclosing receipts. As soon as Mr Bauerlen returns I will ask him to write to you giving you those receipts of which you stand in need.
Yours truly,
J. H. Maiden.
The Baron Ferd: von Mueller K.C.M.G.
