To the R^t Hon^ble the Lords Comm^rs of his Ma^ties Treary.

May it please yo^r Lordships

In obedience to yo^r Lord^ps Order of Reference of 25 Iune concerning a new double silver seale made by M^r Iames Girard for his Maj^ties Bahama Islands in America, we have perused his Ma^ties Warrant for making the same & also the certificate of the delivery pursuant thereto, & find that it was made according to the directions of the said Warrant & sent to the Governour of the said Islands. And by an impression taken from it before it was sent & kept in the Min{illeg}|t|, we find that the work was very good. It was weighed in the Mint before it was sent, & there found of the weight expressed in M^r Gerards Bill, & the price of the \silver &/ work is reasonable in proportion to {illeg}|the| {illeg}|p|rize{illeg}|s| heret{illeg}|o|fore allowed for seales of the like sizes.

All which is most humbly su{illeg}|b|mitted to yo^r Lord^ps great

wisdome
