Printed in NC, 7: 412. Newton's report seems not to have survived, unless the reference is to MINT00818 (Mint 19/3/416-17).

The Master General of the Ordnance will send a reply to Newton's report about ownership of the smith's house as soon as the matter has been laid before the Treasury, though there is no question that it belongs to the Ordnance, 'having bin time out of mind in the Office'.
