Summary:
Memorandum from Treasury's Financial Room showing quarterly installments paid to Master of Mint. Please explain unusually large expenditures. Previous Mint administrators seldom expended entire grant from Parliament as JH has done. This will be last installment until Parliament approves grant for 1852-53. CT wants JH's assurance that this installment will last until end of fiscal year [31 Mar.].
