William Chaloner's Letter to Isaac Newton Esq^r.

|S^r.| I never could work at the Goldsmiths Trade in my life and those pistoll was made by Coffee and Gravener and all that I ev^r. was guilty of was getting them the stamps

I never graved in flatt stitch graving in all any life and if now it would sa{v}e my life I could not do it

I have no Dyes as God Allmighty shall judge me nor to my own knowledge know of any body that has the Tool I had before the parliam^t was rusted and spoiled long ago.

W Chaloner
