Summary:
Forwarded to Chancellor of Exchequer [W. E. Gladstone] JH's letter regarding retirement of H. D. Harness. Does not approve of departure, in JH's plan, from practice of fixed pay for public officers. Surprised by grieved tone of Henry Finch, who turned down earlier generous offer to remain in reorganized Mint.
