Mr Holmes							Farnacres 3rd August 1771



Dear Sir

      By this Weeks Carrier I have sent you a Box containing (considered as one Cake) 719 1/4 Ounces of Bullion which I think looks exceeding well. The Weight in Parcels as follows:

 

      Ozs Dw

No 1       67. 17

   2       77.  9

   3      136. 14

   4      161. 13

   5       91. 9

   6       79. 2

   7      102. 6

Small piece 2.12. 719. 2



Some of the above weights are 1/2 a pennywt better than set down.

I am for Mr Smeaton & Self

Dear Sir

Your most Hble Servt
