To S^r. Isaac Newton Kn.^t

<88v>

S^r. 24 March $\frac{11}{12}$

M^r. Peyton desires that you would please (if the Same be not too much trouble) to draw up a report upon m^r. Williams's Project, that the same may be ready to be signed at the Mint on Wednesday next, for m^r. Williams hath already acquainted m^r. Payton that he will not then attend.           With all respect I am.

                                   Your most Obed^t. Serv^t

                                             John Anstis.
