May it please yoryour LordpsLordships

The plate taken in thisyester day, after the rates of 5s 5d & 5s 8d per ounce, amounts to about 9760 pounds: wchwhich with 29521 pounds worth taken in on friday & saturday makes the whole value about 39281li, besides I cannot yet be exact in the summ because our Clerks differed a little in theirrecconing. The uncertain plate wchwhich may further amount to about 4000li, & some parcells of markt plate wchwhich were lodged in the Mint but not yet weighed because the parties were absent when it came to their turn, & wchwhich may amount to about 1000li. I hope to give yoryour LordpsLordships an exact account besides some parcels brought in last night after we had done weighing wchwhich I think do scarce amount to 1200li

What shall be done thereupon is most humbly submitted to yoryour LorpsLordshipsgreat wisdome.
