| Description | (2 ff.) (Press-copy of an original in William Cheshire’s hand, signed by Boulton.)
[I propose to strike 10 tons per week of pence out of your copper, and an equal quantity out of my own copper. I expect to coin about 6 tons per week of halfpence, and about 3½ tons per week of farthings. Though I have been pressed by Government to push on without a moment’s delay, they have not furnished me with the necessary powers. My mint and mint folks are at a stand, with great loss to me.] |
