Source of text:
TxU:H/L-0500; Reel 1055
Summary:

Thanks for catching JH's error. Will write to the Times and substitute 'Mr. Smith, M.P.' for 'Col. Smith.' JH does not understand 'tariff of conversion' or how it will simplify calling in old coins. Prefers 'Binary system' to 'absolutely demonetizing silver.'
