May it please yo^r Lordship

The Officers of the Mint being appointed by yo^r Lordship to sell her Maj^ties Tin & order {sic}\cause/ the price thereof to be paid to a Receiver whom your Lord^p shall appoint & who shall account annually for the same: if yo^r Lordship, for lessening the number of Officers & making the business more expedite & less chargeable, shall think it for her Maj^ties service that the said Receiver be an Officer of the Mint, I am willing, as I am yo^r Lord^ps Undertreasurer or Receiver for the business of the coynage, so by y^e assistance of my Deputy & Clerk to undertake the charge of receiving & accounting for the price of the Tin. And as yo^r Lordsh^p understands best what is fittest for her Maj^ties service so I make this offer with all\absolute/ submission to yo^r Lord^ps great Wisdom, being

My Lord

Yo^r
