May 12^th 1718

Sir

My son has acquainted me with your kind reception of my letter, & favourable answer, for which I humbly return my hearty thanks.

In answer to what you were pleas'd to tell my son, Coll. Parker shall not be concern'd in the Coinage, neither had I entertain'd any such design at first, but that I was led into it per mistake, thinking, (as he always told me) that he was your old acquaintance; & favourite, & the only person you intended to the undertaking; & that otherwise I had no hopes of being concern'd. And this prevented my making application to you at first, before I gave in my Proposals.

As to the price of the Copper, tho' 17^d $\frac{3}{4}$ is cheaper than can be afforded, & I believe, than any one will sell, yet I will refer my self wholly to you in that matter: And (as I said in my former) shall be very carefull in every respect to be agreeable, & approve myself

Sir

Your Most Obedient Humble Servant

W Wood
