I made false money in England for severall persons whose names are or followeth

Madam Iackson and I wrought at the sign of the George near the Church for one mr Kircher in Grace Church street near the Monument and delivered him severall Guineas at the sign of the Cross Keyes in the same street

Wee wrought h{ard} wire for M^r Hesine who sells all sorts of Copper Wares and Iron and lives in Fleet street near Temple Barr

Wee wrought like wise for M^r Levele Lawman on Ludgate hill

as abov for Adams a Bancker Goldsmith that lives in the strand his father was present when we delivered them to him at an house near the Litle Exchange about 4 months before I left England

There is one M^r {Perce} a Merchant who lives near the Maypole in the Strand that keeps some Workmen at his brothers at the sign of the maggpy at Chelsea who makes money

There is also one Named {Kater} a merchant and Banker who lives in the strand near the Little Exchange He has a place three or 4 {lengths} out of the City whereas there is a Wand Mill I cannot yet think of the name of the place but I remember the name of the Village in Harrow on the Hill and the House and the House is called Northall and the monyer Keeps the house his name is {Goldin}
