Forwards proposal from G. F. G. Mathison to retain refinery as part of Mint. JH still concurs with R. L. Sheil that refinery should be sold or leased. Mr. Haggard's report in 1848 shows that purified gold may be purchased more cheaply than it can be processed in Mint. Again requests permission to proceed with reforms to Mint Board and three offices.
