Much Honored
Sir
I am favoured with a letter from Mr Fauquier of the 23d And
am Extreamly ashamed I should have given you So much trouble through
inadvertency for which I humbly beg pardon I perceive in the AccottAccountt
of the Recoynage last sent I have set down 104200 pd in place
of 104400 And as to the 140 pd of Bullion in my brothers Custodie
there is 31pd 9″ 12dwt″ 2g Really belongs to Mr Allardes And the Remainder which
is 108pd″ 2″ 7″ 22g what is controverted Now I trouble you to peruse the
full abstract which I have done out to a very graine according to
the Mint books and Abbreviat given in by my brother at finishing
the Recoÿnage and after the sweep was 3 tymes searched Mr Allardes
friends make debate only because only my brother had more dissilver
lying by him then Mr Allardes can demand by the state of the accounts
I humbly intreat your Opinion in the matter and refer to my last letter
consider the quantity refined and other Reasons which necessarly occasion
a Waste I am with all duty full Respect
Much Honored
Sir
YorYour most Humble & most
Obedient Servant
