To the most Hon^ble the Earle of Oxford & Earle Mortimer Lord High Treasurer of great Britain.

May it please yo^r Lord^p

In obedience to yo^r Lord^ps Order of Reference of 26^th of last Febr. upon the Memorial of M^r Anstis for raising the price of the Tynn in Cornwal from 3^li. 13^s to 3^li. 14^s. 6^d per C merchants weight: We have considered the same & are humbly of opinion that the price be raised to 3^li 15^s, so that for the future it may be sold in C{illeg}|o|rnwall but one shilling per C cheaper then in London; the difference of the freight from London & from Cornwall to places abroad being but small.

All w^ch is most humbly submitted to yo^r Lord^ps

great wisdome
