This is a true copy of the Comptrolers scheme of these Coyns; how exact his calculations were, I have not leisure to examine, tho' I make no question but You Sr.Sir will, & correct any errours You discover. I am Sorry I had not yethe good fortune to see You ysthis day at the Excise; tho' I hope You are so kind, as stil to continue yr.your good inclination to favour my pretension, if occasion be. But I have recdreceived such demonstrations of yr.your friendship, allready, for which I never pretend to return, & You I dare say, never expect any other requital then my gratitude that I cannot but ensure myself of, yr.your good Offices when a fair occasion presents, by which You'll extremely add to the many obligations You have allready layd upon.
