To the R^t Hon^ble the Lord High Treasurer of England.

May it please yo^r Lord^p

In obedience to your Lord^ps Order of the 3^d Order of the 3^d Instant we have considered the Inventory therewith sent us of Tools & other necessaries proposed to be provided in London for the use of her Maj^ties Mint in Scotland, & are humbly of Opinion, that besides the two Pyles of Standard weights, two Triall pieces for crown gold & two standard Trial pieces for standard silver mentioned in o^r late report of March it may be convenient to sent to them from her Maj^ties Mint in the Tower the things w^ch we have here set down w^th their prizes as follows.

One set of Bell weights for Gold	2.	00.	00
One set of Bell weights for Silver	4.	10.	00
Two sets of penny weights grains & coyn-weights	0.	9.	00
One douzen of sixing scales with counterpoises	6.	12.	00
One pair of cast Rollers
One set of brass Patterns for casting y^e barrs of gold & silver

If more sets of these things be wanted they may be either bought in shops or made in Scotland by these patterns above mentioned|, or sent from the Tower if yo^r Lo^p pleases.|

The blistered steel, the German steel, the Mercury, Alume, Vitriol Winestone, Charcoal, Bone-ashes, Coppel molds, Mufflers, Essay Ballances, Bras Calms, Files, Brushes, Table Vice, Grindstones, Oylestones & Sweep-Miln are usefull in coyning, &|b||ut| may be provided by the Officers of tha|e|t Mint \in Scotland/ as formerly, they being to be had in shops, & the new Mint not differing in these things from the old. We do not think it necessary that all these things sho{l}|u|ld be sent from London, but have notwithstanding set down in the schedu{illeg}|l|e annexed the prizes in Londo of all the things in their {illeg}|I|nventory, excepting that we do not know what they mean by a sizing Miln & Iusting Flots \large scratches half wier/, there being no such names of things in use amongst us.

All w^ch &c
