Summary:
Approves JH's action in transferring £2000 of half crowns to Bank [of England]. Will restrain Commissariat demand for silver coins until present pressure from Bank for coinage is over. Instructions for colonial coinage are obsolete; only new coins should be sent overseas. Plan to produce reserve stock of coins for Commissariat. [JH annotation: calculates minimum reserve stock.]
