To the R^t Honble the L^d High Treasurer of England

May it please yo^r Lord^p

I lately laid before yo^r Lord^p an accompt of the charge of Medals of Gold & silver for her Maj^ts Coronation amounting to 2485. 18. 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ : towards the discharge of w^ch I have in my hands 1886. 6. 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ being the remainder of the Ballance of M^r Neales Acc^t. W^ch money was given by Act of Parliament to defray the expence & charges of his late Maj^ts several Mints & to clear the monies w^ch are due to the several Importers there. Out of this Remainder there have been paid several summs on accompt of the Country Mints amounting unto 1767. 3. 9 & other summs are due for all w^ch the said Remainder is not sufficient, w^ch therefore being placed on the Coynage Duty the above mentioned summ of 1886^li. 6. 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ will remain clear excepting such summs as yo^r Lord^p shall think fit to allow out of the same for rebuilding the Press house & paying to M^r Weddel a salary of {illeg}|6|0^li p^r annum to w^ch the Coynage Duty is not applicable. I humbly pray yo^r Lord^ps Warrant to the Auditors of the Imprests for allowing out of the said Remainder such summ as yo^r Lord^p shall think fit {ou}towards y^e {illeg}|d|ischarge of y^e Acc^t above mentioned & that y^e residue of this Acc^t may be paid out of such other Fund as yo^r Lord in your great Wisdome shall think fit.
All w^ch &c

Is. Newton
