Asks for information about foreign gold.
Happy to assist JH in researching fluctuations in global supplies of gold and silver. Lists sources of information.
Encloses latest report from Bank of France.
Large amounts of gold are arriving from U.S., but Bank of England has little. Is gold accumulating at Royal Mint, or is it passing on to France?
Suspension of operations at Mint is only temporary, due to introduction of new systems for assaying and coining. Mint is storing bullion for resumption of gold coinage in a few days. JH's opinion on continuing drain of bullion from Bank [of England].
Thanks for explaining disposition of gold belonging to Bank of England but stored at Mint. Suspected that importers of U.S. gold were not selling it to Bank but were privately coining it themselves.
Profits that Bank [of England] makes from assay operations at Royal Mint.
