To the Rt Honble the Lords Commrs of his Maties Treary.



May it please yor Lordships

In obedience to yor Lordps Order of Reference of 25 Iune concerning a new double silver seale made by Mr Iames Girard for his Majties Bahama Islands in America, we have perused his Maties Warrant for making the same & also the certificate of the delivery pursuant thereto, & find that it was made according to the directions of the said Warrant & sent to the Governour of the said Islands. And by an impression taken from it before it was sent & kept in the Min{illeg}|t|, we find that the work was very good. It was weighed in the Mint before it was sent, & there found of the weight expressed in Mr Gerards Bill, & the price of the \silver &/ work is reasonable in proportion to {illeg}|the| {illeg}|p|rize{illeg}|s| heret{illeg}|o|fore allowed for seales of the like sizes.

All which is most humbly su{illeg}|b|mitted to yor Lordps great
