Sr.Sir

Since I had the Honr.Honour To write on you Last have been in doubt. Whether I explained my self so fully as I ought.

I told you that the Trade of Copper Smiths gave yethe Millers 3d. ꝑper pound to reduce their Shruffe into Plates Without observing to you that those plates in our Way when cutt into blianks for half pence or farthings Will make but about half, Which will make the charge thereon, Near 6d. ꝑper pound if not full. I am with great Respect

SrSir
