  'An Acc^t of y^e cost & charges of sending Tynn to Amsterdam & selling it there by commission.' [MINT 19/3/498-9]

<515r>

M^r Drummond represents (October 1704) that the price of Tynn in Holland had been from 45 to 47 Guilders p^r Dutch cwt w^t. which is about 110^£ English weight. And 45^G according to the p^resent exchange was about 4^£ 7^s sterling, from which was to be deducted freight to Holland & Custome & charges there, which according to the calculation annexed will return 4^£ sterling p^r 100lb at the rate of ten Gilders ten Stivers per pound Sterling
