Summary: This page contains a letter dated March 16th, 1901, responding to a previous inquiry about missing specimens. The sender explains that all other banks were satisfied with the explanation and asserts that there is no record of the specimens being given out. The letter speculates that the album containing the specimens may have been among the private papers of the late Mr Bacon's family and was possibly taken without permission after his death.
