Seymour to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

In reply to your letter of yesterday's date, I have the honor
to state that the passage to Victoria for myself, wife & servants
costs as follows.

Two first class tickets £174.18

Female Servant 45.05

Male  39.15
£259.18

This does not include the expenses of hôtels, wines, nor the
carriage of baggage across the Isthmus of Panama, which additional
expenses may be fairly set down as from £150 to £200.
