asia written in pencil over ia.

Plates for Nordstedt (1891). 'Signature' has been written, probably by Nordstedt, on the line beneath the text.

There is an annotation, presumably by Nordstedt: '2 ex sända + 1 å 10 + 10 8 å 3 bl korr d. 1 /2. 92' [2 ex sent + 1 and 10 + 10 8 and 3 [sheets of correspondence] 1/2. 92]. The item is dated to 1 February 1892 on this basis. We are grateful to Tobias Idberg, archivist at the University Library, Lund, for his help in deciphering this note.

See also M to O. Nordstedt, 8 December 1891.

Text in Georg Luehmann's hand, presumably sent to Nordstedt as a template of the kind of receipt that M required (see also M to O. Nordstedt, 3 February 1891). It appears that Nordstedt kept the MS as a file copy recording the numbers he had included in the receipt he sent to Melbourne. That receipt, however, has not been found.
