TxU:H/M-0251.9; Reel 1087
Summary:

Gave permission for F. M. Russell [wife of prime minister] to tour Mint on 30 Jan. Do not be concerned over Benedetto Pistrucci's remarks; JH's note accompanying Pistrucci's letter will be sufficient for Treasury to understand the situation. P.S.: Suggests letting Lady Russell see studio of [William] Wyon.

Summary:

Letter from Benedetto Pistrucci incorrectly quotes JH as stating that no Mint officer except Pistrucci is capable of handling dies. W. T. Brande may interpret this as lack of JH's confidence in Brande's abilities.
