"Report of Sir Isaac Newton upon Mr Girard's bill for Engraving a Seal for the Bahama Islands"

<154r>

To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of his Majesties Treasury.

May it please your Lordships

In obedience to your Lordships Order of Reference of 25 Iune concerning a new double silver seale made by Mr James Girard for his Majesties Bahama Islands in America, we have perused his Majesties Warrant for making the same & also the certificate of the delivery pursuant thereto, & find that it was made according to the directions of the said Warrant & sent to the Governour of the said Islands. And by an impression taken from it before it was sent & kept in the Mint, we find that the work was very good. It was weighed in the Mint before it was sent, & there found of the weight expressed in Mr Gerards Bill, & the price of the silver & work is reasonable in proportion to the prizes heretofore allowed for seales of the like sizes.

All which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships great

wisdome

Mint Office
Octob.

Isaac Newton
