Needs to know how much gold from California has entered England.
Gold from America is not identified by its local source, so quantity of California gold can only be estimated. Contact W. D. Haggard or Matthew Marshall for information.
Happy to assist JH in researching fluctuations in global supplies of gold and silver. Lists sources of information.
Is very appreciative of JH's letter of condolence at the death of H. C. Schumacher; also clarifies how Schumacher's responsibilities are being carried out.
