Just received [?]'s letter, but believes it was written before JH visited [?] today. Assumes that all points in letter were answered at meeting.
Grieved to hear that JH's recommendation to Treasury does not do justice to Benedetto Pistrucci's public service. Reviews Pistrucci's appointment by Lord Maryborough [William Wellesley-Pole] in 1815. Lists Pistrucci's objections to present appointment at Mint.
Delighted to learn by JH's letter of 6 Dec. that JH plans to provide for men at Mint who worked under GM. Will prepare statements of their services and pay scales.
