From Charles Topp to Ferdinand von Mueller   27 June 1895

Chief Secretary's Office,

Melbourne, 27th June, 1895.

Sir,

With a view to lighten as much as possible the pressure of work in connection with the closing of the accounts for the financial year, I beg to inform you that the Honorable the Treasurer requests that adjustment of advances 1894-5 may be forwarded to the Treasury as early as practicable.

If the advance cannot be fully adjusted within the Regulation period, i.e. by the 14th July, it is desired that a partial adjustment be made so that the expenditure may be brought to account in the Treasury and the vouchers examined in the Audit Office without any avoidable delay.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Signed) Charles A. Topp
