Letter concerning a potential raise of the salary of the Porter of the Mint
<73r>
To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of his Majestys Treasury.
May it please your Lordships
The Clerks & under Officers of the Mint whose salaries were not above forty pounds per annum, have lately had their salaries increased by one fourth part by a signe manual, except the Porter of the Mint Mr Robert Low. And I humbly pray that his Salary, which is but twenty pounds per annum, may in like manner be increased to twenty & five pounds per annum
Which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships great wisdome
