May it please your Lordships

I understand that the money is to be coyed according to the forms expressed int he annexed draughts. The inscriptions, the arms of Hannover, & the Crown above that Escutcheon are drawn only in blanck lead that if any thing be amiss it may be wiped out & mended. And because they may be wiped out & changed, it will be convenient that they be expressed in words at length in the warrant for coyning the money according to these Draughts to which Warrant these Draughts (if they be approved) are to be annexed. If these Draughts are to be mended or any other Draughts are to be laid before the King in Council it shall be speedily done. In the Draughts for the small money the inscription about the head is proposed to be only GEORGIVS. DE. GRATIA & about the Reverse MAG. BR. FR. ET. HIB. REX. &c. If in any of these draughts the work prove too much crowded it may be mended hereafter by a new Warrant.

All which &c.
