Thanks for the note and communication sent to the Assistant Secretary.
Compliments JH's 'Half Dozen Propositions on the Gold Coinage.' Hopes these produce changes in handling of gold. Belgian calico is competing with English calico and producing economic distress in Manchester.
Just received another copy of JH's 'Half a Dozen Propositions Respecting the Gold Coinage' from son Henry Hardcastle. These should create problems for Chancellor of Exchequer. Hopes to understand these before Parliamentary discussion on gold currency begins.
