From Ferdinand von Mueller to James Patterson   26 July 1894

[Minchin Mr Explains absence.]1

M's letter was returned to him on 27 July minuted: 'Reprimand & fine £1'. M returned the file on 30 July.

Letter not found; item is a register entry only, of an item dated 26 July 1894. M had asked, several weeks earlier, whether an absence of Minchin's through ill-health could be treated as annual leave; see M to J. Pastterson, 12 June 1894 (in this edition as 94-06-12a). It is not clear whether the absence now referred to was the sdame period, or a new one.
