Summary: This letter from the Office of The Agents-General for Crown Colonies, dated 8th October 1859, addresses Messrs Perkins Bacon & Co. regarding their misunderstanding about payment for designs submitted for the engraving of Mauritius banknotes (£10, £1, and £5). The letter clarifies that payment for designs would be made even if their tender was not accepted.
