LevelItem
Date2 December 1804
Description(3 ff.) [I received yours of the 28th ultimo. It appears that you and I are perfectly agreed. As soon as Government confirms their agreement, I will confirm mine with you, viz. that Williams & Grenfell will furnish in sheets one half of the copper for the intended coinage, deliver it at Birmingham at £184 per ton—that is, copper 168, rolling 14, carriage 2. I presume I shall coin 16 to 18 tons of pence per week, or about 12 tons of halfpence.]
