Encloses GA's memorandum on exporting large quantities of coins, especially to Australia. Will see JH and C. E. Trevelyan tomorrow.
Understands that JH has seen GA's letter to H. D. Harness on 'Seigneurage' question. Encloses GA's response to Harness's most recent letter.
Demand for silver coins by Commissariat department [in Malta] must wait until Mint has met demand by Bank [of England]. Address all official letters to C. E. Trevelyan, even if responding to letters signed by GA.
[Marked 'Private.'] Governor of Bank [of England] is in 'great fuss' about not receiving silver coins. What is Mint doing? Suspects some 'nonsense' behind this urgent demand for silver. In C. E. Trevelyan's absence, GA will not act precipitously.
[Marked 'Private.'] Ordered Commissariat officer in Malta to send home £51,000 of silver coin for use by Mint in meeting demand of Bank [of England] for coins to export. Wishes government would take steps to reduce export of silver. Concern over public reaction to reducing silver content of coins.
